(machinery operation) - When we used to design things we'd have to make them, like carve a piece of foam or make it out of clay, and it's quite a long laborious process. And then eventually you'd have to do drawings of it so you could have it made. Now much of the design is done on the computer. You can easily spin the object around. You can look at it at all different angles. You can look at the underside of it. You can see virtually everything, but you can't touch it or feel it. So what we do is we'll send this to a three-dimensional printer. (machine operation) What this machine does, it's like a computerized hot glue gun and it's taking plastic and then squirting it into the shape of the object, just layer by layer until it builds it all. So let's see what we have here now. (metal tray sliding out of frame) It's still warm, fresh out of the oven. (plastic click) There we go.
