Speaking of programing design patterns, there is "a factory". What would be the correct verb?

To factorize / factorise is the mathmatical term not related to "a factory".

To factor [in ...] is a form of "a fact" not related to factory either.

I know "to manufacture" as an alternative, but what word is closer to factory?

A programmer answer rather than English usage -- the verb is construct, since a factory makes objects, and that involves calling a constructor function.

AbstractConnectionFactory will construct an concrete instance of IDbConnection.

Keep it short and simple, especially in programming names. A good verb for what a factory does is:
