Ever wonder how phone screens are made? I went to factories that make aftermarket glass and touch screens for refurbishing broken screens when I was last in China. It's a pretty amazing process. Go watch on YouTube! (link in bio)

I visited JLC's 3D printing factory in China to see their SLA printer farm in action. It's amazing to see so many high end machines in one room!

This tiny wire cuts through steel! I got to see a wire EDM machine in action at JLCCNC's factory. This electric discharge machining process uses high voltage sparks to erode metal extremely precisely. It's amazing to see it carves out shapes with such accuracy.

I reviewed the most cursed 3D printer I’ve ever seen. It prints upside down. It fits in a backpack. And somehow… it works really well. https://youtu.be/lOFh70ooCRs

This new UV printer from eufyMake is a game changer for makers and small businesses. I took it for a spin, and tried a number of things I don't think anyone has tried yet. It has SO MUCH potential. Go watch the video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/vTed3-Y8p4s

NEW VIDEO! I went inside a Chinese factory that manufactures brushless motors used in everything from robots to giant drones! We saw how they're made from start to finish, including a visit to the magnet factory to see how neodymium magnets are made. Super cool! Go watch on YouTube!

I got exclusive access inside the factories making the most funded product in Kickstarter history — the eufyMake E1 UV printer. This thing is mind-blowing: full-color, 3D-like printing on almost anything, with zero maintenance, right from your desk. But the factories are even cooler. It starts with molten aluminum and ends in a clean room at one of the best factories I’ve ever seen. I made a video showing the whole process - Go watch on YouTube!

I did a 3D print on top of a mountain - in a snowstorm! It turns out the Positron 3D printer is pretty darn portable - arguably the most portable 3d printer available! You can watch our adventure on my YouTube channel now.

How do we bring manufacturing back to the US? I met up with Zach Latta, the founder of Hack Club, when I was recently in China. I was blown away with both him and what he's doing with Hack Club. We ended up having an interesting discussion of what it might take to bring manufacturing back to the US, and how Hack Club could play a critical role in that. https://youtu.be/N_XfO8WbnnU

If you want to understand why it will be VERY difficult if not impossible to bring manufacturing back from China to the US, you should read this article: https://www.molsonhart.com/blog/america-underestimates-the-difficulty-of-bringing-manufacturing-back It’s very accurate in my opinion and based on my experience in China.

On April 2nd, 2025, our president announced major new taxes on imports from foreign countries (“tariffs”), ranging from 10% to 49%. The stated goal is to bring manufacturing back to the United States and to “make America wealthy again”. These tariffs will not work. In fact, they may even do ...
