深圳制汇节顺利闭幕之后，东莞柴火创客空间也迎来了首次亮相。10月15日，我们联合聚集在深圳的一些冒险家，共同举办了第一次内测活动，与创客社区伙伴一同探索开源制造的未来！
After a tremendous weekend at the Maker Faire Shenzhen 2018, we unveiled our new maker space - Chaihuo x.factory Dongguan and hosted its very first event with some lucky adventurers, exploring the future of manufacturing for the maker community!
东莞柴火创客空间位于万科1835创想社，以开拓东莞生产制造业资源为目的，致力于为创客社区降低从原型到制造生产的门槛！
Chaihuo x.factory Dongguan is situated at Vanke 1835 Creative Commune, with the approach to open up Dongguan’s manufacturing resources, lowering the manufacturing barriers for the maker community!
东莞柴火创客空间
此次东莞柴火创客空间的首次内测活动，我们邀请了15位国际创客社区的伙伴参与。先简单介绍下一些随行的小伙伴。Roni, 一位22岁来自以色列的创客，设计了智能狗狗拾便器和智能猫玩具，这两个项目在今年的深圳制汇节中展示，广受好评，也对深圳市副市长王立新进行展示。 Hideo,一位来自日本的创客，旨在创造支持简单生活、发挥人类能力的设备，设计了人力脱水机和移动棉纺车轮等项目。
The tour was the first sneak peek of Chaihuo x.factory Dongguan and only 15 people were able to participate. Let me introduce some of the participants of this trip. Roni, a 22 year-old maker from Israel, who has made a smart dog plastic bag dispenser and a smart cat toy. Hideo, a Japanese maker who creates equipment that supports simple life and human ability, with his lab named Human Tech Lab. This shows that makers from different background are already looking forward to the new branch of Chaihuo x.factory Dongguan!

为了让参与者更加深入了解东莞的新空间以及本地的制造生态，我们组织了一个关于智能城市和智能制造的论坛，邀请万科研究院院长钱源讨论了东莞作为一个城市的发展趋势以及东莞万科工程总经理刘实逵探讨科技在建造中的力量。
To make sure the participants get a comprehensive understanding of this new space and the manufacturing ecosystem of Dongguan City, we’ve prepared a forum about Smart City and Manufacturing. We’ve invited to Alex Qian, the Director of Urban Research Institute of China Vanke Co., Ltd. to talk about how Dongguan as a city is evolving and the Head of Engineering at Dongguan Vanke, Shikui Liu to talk about how technologies are developing in construction.
论坛上，柴火创客创始人潘昊就东莞柴火的愿景以及创客文化如何推动创新进行了讨论，畅谈东莞柴火创客空间在其中所起的作用。同时，他也提出了开源制造的理念，希望借由开源制造的力量，让创客社区可以好地利用东莞本土的制造业资源！
During the Smart manufacturing forum, our founder Eric gave a talk about the mission of Chaihuo x.factory and how and why Maker culture will be an important part of the development. He also proposed the idea of Open Source Manufacturing in Dongguan, which will make Dongguan’s manufacturing resources more accessible to makers!

除了论坛以外，我们还组织参观了万科目前在建的东江之星项目，展示了科技在建筑工地上运用。其中包括了一个VR体验中心，在这里可以通过VR技术模拟工地事故场景，以达到工地安全提醒目的。
Apart from the forum, there are also tours. We organized a trip to visit a current construction project by Vanke showcasing how technologies are also being developed and deployed in construction sites., where there is a VR experience center and people can experience some of the construction accidents.

在行程的最后一部分，我们参观了位于东莞的劲胜无人工厂。该工厂使用机械手臂以及全自动引导车来取代人力，完成特定的工序，向我们展示了科技带给制造行业的机遇和未来工厂的展望。
For the last part of the tour, we organized a visit to one of the fully automatic factories in Dongguan, Janus Precision Components. The factory uses robotic arms and automated guided vehicles to replace the work that used to be done manually, giving us a glimpse of the future of manufacturing.

东莞柴火创客空间，是继柴火在深圳、河北之后的，另一个对科技结合在地产业探索的平台。借助东莞得天独厚的地理位置和雄厚的制造资源，致力于帮助创新者实现从原型打造到小批量生产，甚至大批量生产的完整生态链。目前，东莞柴火创客空间的驻场会员也在火热招募中，只要你是专业创客Maker Pros，有一技之长，并且又在做的项目，对原型打造走向小批量生产有需求，那么你就赶紧来吧！
Chaihuo x.factory Dongguan is the next landmark after Shenzhen and Hebei, with its unique location and strong manufacturing resources; it can help you to go from prototypes to batch production or even mass production. So, if you are start-ups or doing a project that needs more support for manufacturing, join us at the new branch of Chaihuo x.factory in Dongguan! What’s more, if your products/solutions can cooperate and add values to the manufacturing industry and you’d like to tap into the China ecosystem, let us know and we’d like to help connect you with the local resources in Dongguan, to explore future collaborations!
