The visit was organized under the 2026 International Tech-Art Symposium & Residency Program, co-hosted by MIT Media Lab and UABB Biennale, connecting cutting-edge research with real-world manufacturing. Shenzhen, a global advanced manufacturing hub, offered a unique setting for participants to see how ideas move from lab to scalable production.

During the factory tour, guests explored JBRplas’ integrated capabilities: injection mold development, precision molding, surface finishing, and assembly. The engineering team also shared project management workflows, quality control systems, and collaboration models supporting international clients from prototyping to mass production.

Participants showed strong interest in how JBRplas enables hardware-driven innovation, especially in HCI devices, wearables, interactive installations, and experimental systems. Many researchers valued direct engagement with a manufacturing partner bridging design intent, engineering feasibility, and scalable production.

“Seeing design, tooling, molding, and assembly under one roof is invaluable for researchers in physical computing,” said one participant. “This collaboration brings experimental ideas into the real world.”

JBRplas is a one-stop partner for custom injection-molded plastic components, serving global clients in medical devices, consumer products, industrial applications, and emerging tech fields. The visit reinforced the importance of dialogue between academic research, creative practice, and manufacturing.

This Factory Day deepened mutual understanding between international researchers and local manufacturers, highlighting Shenzhen as a living laboratory where innovation, engineering, and production converge.
