C
4:36Chad McCoyGUEST
Um, and so we leverage their technologies, uh, and their, um, uh, Multi Jet Fusion technology for, um, printing, uh, at volume and scale, uh, in the industrial scale that you mentioned in the beginning.

I mean, to have an entire Special Forces team, uh, uh, MFF team qualified- Yeah ... is pretty difficult to do.
C
6:17Chad McCoyGUEST
It's not easy to get those slots, but yeah, I can definitely see why it's appealing to- No, so I felt that, um, I felt that as a young guy going through scuba school with zero badges on my chest, right? I was a, maybe I was an E2, and, um, my s- I was dive team number two in scuba school.
C
6:35Chad McCoyGUEST
And, you know, the guy that I was a s- a sc- or my, my partner was a, a crusty, like, you know, Special Forces E7.
