How It's Made
Have you ever wondered how the products you use every day are made? How It's Made leads you through the process of how everyday products, such as apple juice, skateboards, engines, contact lenses, and many more objects are manufactured.

Electrophoretic Displays, Dry Erase Boards, Air Rifles, Quartz Countertops
lexible films are layered with microscopic electronic components and electronic ink to create thin electrophoretic displays. Porcelain-coated steel is bonded to a rigid backing for dry-erase boards, compressed-air mechanisms are assembled and accuracy-tested in air rifles, and quartz is mixed with resin and decorative materials before being moulded, cured and polished into countertops.
Custom Shoe Trees, Clay Targets, Squeeze Chutes, Composite Boat Propellers
Wooden blocks are copied from precisely fitted models, hollowed, divided and hinged to create custom shoe trees. The episode also follows petroleum pitch and mineral powder as they are moulded into breakable clay targets, steel components as they become livestock squeeze chutes, and fibre-reinforced composite as it is injection-moulded into boat-propeller blades.
Orthodontic Retainers, Orange Juice, Retractable Saunas, Sawmill-Blade Knives
Digital dental scans produce models around which wires and acrylic are shaped into orthodontic retainers. Fresh oranges are washed, inspected, extracted and immediately chilled for juice, insulated wooden panels are joined into retractable sauna enclosures, and discarded carbon-steel saw blades are cut, heat-treated, sharpened and fitted with handles to become knives.
Table Tennis Tables, Plastic Model Kits, Light Microscopes
Aluminum and engineered wood are pressed together, coated and mounted on folding steel frames to produce outdoor table-tennis tables. Detailed designs are converted into steel moulds for injection-moulded model-kit parts, while optical glass is cut, ground, polished and carefully cleaned before the finished lenses are assembled into light microscopes.
Hand Forged Hammers, Gummy Vitamins, Boat Trailers, Tea Lights & Jar Candles
Heated steel is forged, punched, ground and heat-treated before a shaped hickory handle completes a traditional hammer. Nutritional mixtures are tested and deposited into gummy moulds, aluminium frames are equipped with axles, bunks, winches and lighting to become boat trailers, and prepared wax is moulded or poured around fitted wicks to produce tea lights and jar candles.
