Where the two silver disks come from. That's the more important process.

Did you make this?

It is an artist’s personal conception of how things are made.

My inner child is still upset that it's almost 2023 and I don't have my damn hoverboard

I love the little quality control. :)

So far none have failed.

Is there a subreddit specific for this type of stuff? I've seen a few today and it is nice to watch for a while.

I really like the product-testing workstation. I'm glad to know these are tested and safe.

If you wait long enough you can see the paint cartridges change

We got Rock and Roll instead.

In the BTTF timeline, Marty goes back to the 50s and very publicly defeats a group of bullies with the power of skateboards.

Marty then goes to the high school dance and plays an aggressively mediocre version of a Chuck Berry classic.

These two events warped the priorities of that universe. Skateboards became the next big thing and led to the creation of hoverboards, while Rock n Roll languished.

It'd be cool if, after animating this, the artist tweaked it a bit to move at the pace of an actual factory and re-rendered it.

Does anyone know what program might have been used to make this animation? Can blender do this?

They've been around for years, it's just that parents groups have not let the toy manufacturers make them. But Zemeckis and the producers were able to get their hands on some so they put them in the movie. ( It's true - source )

Ah yes. Manufacturing would be this simple if there's a glue this perfect

They forgot it started as a scooter though. Cool nonetheless.

My understanding now is that hoverboards are made out giant fruit by the foot

What's up with all those factory gifs on the front page recently. I never saw them before and I saw three today all of a sudden and I guess that's not all.

I like it and it's fun, but it's clearly made by someone who has no idea about manufacturing and production process.

Where is the scooter handle? Marty's hoverboard was a hover scooter with the handle removed...BOO THIS MAN!!!

I feel like I've lost my sense of just enjoying things for what they are ( temporarily or permanently) Maybe I'm just getting old.

Top section, how is the material rolled up like a tp roll and justs obediently laying flat if it's something durable like fiberglass? There's no rollers guiding the material and holding it down so if the material rolls up, that's just going to mess up the measurement, and just because the guillatine chops the material off and the other side looks like it's ball bearings, doesn't mean that it's going to automatically slide off down the side, what's more likely to happen is it might roll down a little bit, then it might get pushed by the next material coming in and mess up the positioning for the cut.

The middle section looks like it's made from fiction, because they're painting the flat board before it's being punched into a curved shape. Like I feel like that would just smudge the paint off in that process since it's not heat treated and why would you paint it before not after. If you flip the process, punch the board into shape then apply the paint, you can add a small heating station right after that the board goes through to cook the paint onto the board. Then it's lke the machine gingerly places 2 quantum levitator on a curved surface like it's not going to slide off, maybe the wet sticky paint it holding it together, I don't know. I've worked in machine operation before and those disks are going to slip off 100%, then the next machine just lightly stamps brackets onto the board without any kind of drilling / nails that's supposed to hold together 2 levitators that have enough force to push a grown man off the ground and levitate them.

QA section relies too much on the fact that the boards are actually functional. If there's a defect with the levitators, is it just going to kick the product off to the side? I guess defective boards will just fall down on the first part of the process and if they're lucky it'll roll off to the side, but what if it doesn't fall off and just lands on the sensors on the catwalk? then parts of the catwalk isn't usable because there's a defective product covering the sensors on the catwalk.

The excess that is dropped into the floor from the round wheel near the start has the rounded side on the opposite end from the board that is then pushed out onto curved ramp.

Metroidman t1_j0499t9 wrote

The little cookie cutter part is wrong. On the actual piece the rounded part is on the right but the remainder material has the rounded part on the left.

But why is everything I'm seeing on social media right now one of these never ending factory line gifs??

ahhh so that's what it's doing. I watched this for far too long, trying to figure out what was happening at that step!! Thanks!
