[music playing] our customers cometo us because we have some of the broadest arrayof technologies and equipment assembled together. they know that we're goingto apply the best technology
3d printing in oil and gas industry, for whatever their needs are. we have the expertiseand the technologies that can help ourcustomers develop their ideas and their products.
the word 3d printing is ineverybody's mouth right now, in everybody's ear. so it goes from printinglittle figurines out of sugar to put on a cake, tomaking aerospace parts that go on the space shuttle. 20 years ago, peoplewould ask what you do, and you really hada difficult time trying to explainwhat 3d printing was. and today, explaining3d printing
has become so much easieras an additive manufacturing process of layering orsintering or cutting. certainly, the viabilityof the materials that we use in the3d printing processes across severaldifferent technologies has increased, has advanced. over the last few years,the 3d printing market has really evolved into atrue manufacturing process. we serve major verticalmarkets, including aerospace,
transportation, medical,consumer products, and oil, and gas, and energy. more and morecompanies are designing for additive manufacturing. 3d printing really can beconsidered a complement to traditional production. every industry out thereis benefiting from this. every industry outthere is changing the way they do business.
there's an excitement that comesover you when you hit print, and then the part builds,and you get layer upon layer and that laser's sitting thereworking, sparks are flying. it's like magic.
