In a nutshell, pretty much.

The general idea of manufacturing is to create an independent item using technology and/or innovative procedures.  The general idea of building is to use independent items to create a better/stronger/more capable item through any means really.

Also wouldn't build simply be general term (like it could include mass production/manufacturing/construction), the word I think he wants it construct, or construction. 

Mass production generally falls under manufacture because it is so tech driven at this point, so build can work the way he has it for the most part.  I would use construct though myself.

Thanks, ya I felt easier with the word construct, over build. I do know both words, but just wanted to make sure I was not gravely wrong.

The fun part is the grey areas between where you can use any of the words to make it work.  Manufacturing cars, building cars, and constructing cars, all work as intended.  In large part, they are all accurate as well.

Hell, based on the way things in housing developments go these days you could even go so far as to say houses are no longer built or constructed but simply manufactured also.  Streamlining of process will lead to less building and more manufacturing.  If for no other reason than continued profit increase and time savings.

Isn't the difference simply robotics/machinary involved?

"to make or produce by hand or machinery, especially on a large scale."

In its earliest form, manufacturing was usually carried out by a single skilled artisan with assistants. Training was by apprenticeship. In much of the pre-industrial world, the guild system protected the privileges and trade secrets of urban artisans.


Is the creation of orgasm comparable to...sort of cement or house? Car? And if it's done by robotics, machinery or by hand is it manufactured? Well I guess someone could say there are similarities to a dam breaking but...too complicated

manufacturing orgasm
producing orgasm
building orgasm
constructing orgasm

Who else but The_Yoda, he knew...

I cannot imagine toilet-free life.

Kebabs have a unique attribute compared to other consumables. To unlock this effect you need to wolf down a big ass kebab really fast, like under 10 minutes or so and wait for the effect to kick in. If done correctly your movements should feel unbelievably heavy to the point where you literally cannot move at all.

Thus the innovative procedures part of the explanation.  Also, with technology, definitions evolve.  The manufacturers of yesteryear are more or less defined as artists today.  Where manufacturing is more commercial and conventional.

There was no context for time period given.  Granted that line of the definition is somewhat dated but still valid.  The term manufacture is a broad one.  My reply was mostly just to refute that manufacturing needed to involve robotics and / or machinery.  Oft times in this day and age it does involve such but that is not a prerequisite to an item or component being manufactured.  Manufacturing can be completely organic for instance and can be interchanged with the word "produce" as in the body manufacturing blood cells and so forth. In that example it is likely the mass production part of the definition of manufacturing that lends the use of the word manufacture credence in conjunction with the process of forming blood cells.   I'm not saying you were neccesarily wrong in your reply more like just incomplete. To be fair you also used the phrase "in a nutshell"

 

 

Look at the entymololgy of the word for instance

 

manufacture (n.) 1560s, "something made by hand," from Middle French manufacture, from Medieval Latin *manufactura (source of Italian manifattura, Spanish manufactura), from Latin manu, ablative of manus "hand" (see manual (adj.)) + factura "a working," from past participle stem of facere "to perform" (see factitious). Sense of "process of manufacturing" first recorded c. 1600. Related: Manufactures.



Manufacturing is a more streamlined production of a product. There can also be different types of builds that are manufactured in an assembly plant. I supervise in an assembly plant. We manufacture machines that dry plastic pellets that go into making plastic products.
