Read original comment ↗Different technology, but Destin from Smarter every day did an interesting factory tour [1] of their film making process. Despite the factory being fairy old, there's an impressive level of engineering, automation and other tech involved. Things like their film coating machines having an isolated, heavy floor that's directly connected to bedrock, miles of drying machines that never physically touch the film, or the giant screw used to generate heat by friction to create the film base. The amount of process and technical knowledge and experience that went into this is absolutely impressive. [1] [VIDEO]
