Can you just walk us through how the actual manufacturing process works once the container's deployed in the field?
4:23
Yeah, sure.

So, um, we have a, a very, uh, um, very special relationship with, um, Hewlett Packard.
4:29
And so, uh, with HP, uh, we are the exclusive provider of mobile systems across the planet.
4:36
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.
4:48
Um, there's a pretty big difference between, uh, some of the FDM desktop printers that are getting thrown in containers and saying they have a compare- you know, a comparable technology to us.

6:17
Sure.

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.
6:33
It's a big deal, right, in one, two, and three.
6:35
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.
