00:05.038 --> 00:07.741
The Fathomwerx Lab is an exciting
 and active place

00:07.741 --> 00:11.544
to roll up your sleeves and innovate
 to advance our Navy and our community.

00:11.845 --> 00:15.382
You can bring your concepts here
 and use our tools to create and construct

00:15.382 --> 00:18.852
physical or virtual prototypes,
 then use our sophisticated

00:18.852 --> 00:22.756
testing equipment to test and validate
 your prototypes or just your theories

00:22.756 --> 00:26.159
of what could become solutions
 for Navy ships or Navy sailors.

00:26.559 --> 00:28.395
Think of the lab as a state of the art.

00:28.395 --> 00:31.464
Hands on opportunity
 to play a significant role in moving

00:31.464 --> 00:34.300
our nation's capabilities forward
 and into the next stage.

00:34.601 --> 00:37.637
Fathomwerx exists
 as a partnership between four entities.

00:37.804 --> 00:40.707
One: the government,
 which is Naval Surface Warfare Center,

00:42.075 --> 00:45.979
Port Hueneme Division, two: a nonprofit
 organization, three: a local business,

00:46.146 --> 00:47.881
and four: the commercial seaport

00:47.881 --> 00:51.017
you know as The Port of Hueneme
 which is letting us rent this space.

00:51.284 --> 00:55.088
The four entities got together
 and formed Fathomwerx as a space for us

00:55.088 --> 00:59.092
and the community to collaborate
 on turning ideas into real prototypes

00:59.292 --> 01:01.995
that we hope will solve issues
 in a variety of domains.

01:02.262 --> 01:06.433
Naval Sea Systems Command or NAVSEA
 for short and the parent organization

01:06.433 --> 01:09.769
of this warfare center
 has provided Fathomwerx with the tools,

01:09.903 --> 01:13.006
equipment, and software
required for metal fabrication

01:13.106 --> 01:17.143
wood fabrication, additive
manufacturing and materials testing.

01:17.143 --> 01:21.848
Fathomwerx also has a 60,000 gallon
 above ground freshwater tank

01:22.048 --> 01:25.919
and an indoor flight cage where underwater
 and unmanned aerial vehicles

01:26.052 --> 01:28.388
better known as drones
 can be tested and observed.

01:28.955 --> 01:31.558
If you need to craft
 your successful prototype out of metal,

01:31.724 --> 01:35.395
Fathomwerx offers
 a welder, plasma cutter metal lathe,

01:35.662 --> 01:39.165
sheet metal notcher, box and pan brake,
 and a sheet metal shear.

01:39.799 --> 01:43.069
The lab also has numerous hand
 and power tools that can be used

01:43.069 --> 01:44.904
alongside the larger machines.

01:44.904 --> 01:48.608
If wood is the material of your prototype,
 Fathomwerx can provide a table saw,

01:48.908 --> 01:52.479
lathe, band saws, a router, sanders,

01:52.779 --> 01:56.716
miter saw, and several other types
 of supplementary carpentry tools and saws

01:57.117 --> 01:59.953
Our HAAS mini mill serves
 seeing CNC milling needs

02:00.019 --> 02:04.090
while our General Electric M-2 Metal
 3D printer is the crown of our additive

02:04.090 --> 02:05.592
manufacturing capabilities.

02:05.592 --> 02:07.494
that also includes several polymer

02:07.494 --> 02:11.297
desktop 3D printers for initial test runs
 or plastic parts manufacturing.

02:11.297 --> 02:13.700
Fathomwerx also houses mini labs.

02:13.700 --> 02:16.870
Our augmented reality,
 and virtual reality lets you

02:16.903 --> 02:19.506
immerse yourself
 within our mixed reality systems.

02:19.973 --> 02:23.977
This space sports state of the art
 hardware and software for 3D modeling

02:24.144 --> 02:27.280
and other tasks to digitally create
 representational training

02:27.280 --> 02:28.648
and maintenance systems.

02:28.648 --> 02:33.553
. We use AR and VR to virtually train
 Navy sailors to maintain ships' equipment

02:33.553 --> 02:36.723
and systems so they can do
 the needed maintenance while at sea.

02:36.956 --> 02:39.692
Our other mini labs
 allow you to put your prototype

02:39.692 --> 02:43.196
through the materials testing ringer
 with thermal imaging, corrosion,

02:43.663 --> 02:47.500
abrasion, water transmissibility,
 and weather testing equipment

02:47.500 --> 02:50.904
to see how it and its materials
 might perform in the real world.

02:51.538 --> 02:54.541
All of these capabilities are force
 multipliers to the Navy,

02:54.941 --> 02:58.645
business, and academic communities
 in need of prototyping and innovation.

02:58.811 --> 03:02.715
So bring your team with you to the lab
 or collaborate with external organization

03:02.715 --> 03:07.086
and start realizing how your ideas today
 can become solutions for tomorrow's Navy.

03:07.420 --> 03:10.123
Thank you for joining me on this
 tour of the Fathomwerx Lab.

03:10.390 --> 03:11.558
We hope to see you here soon.
