00:00.529 --> 00:01.600
Welcome to

00:03.180 --> 00:06.650
XDMXD stands for Manufacturing Times

00:06.659 --> 00:08.920
Digital . We are giving manufacturers

00:08.930 --> 00:10.986
the tools and the expertise to begin

00:10.989 --> 00:12.989
building every part better than the

00:12.989 --> 00:15.409
last . We are here to forge our future

00:15.420 --> 00:17.420
and the future of the United States

00:17.420 --> 00:19.680
manufacturing ecosystem . We will be

00:19.690 --> 00:21.879
focused on cutting edge R and D

00:21.899 --> 00:24.299
projects , everything from Digital twin

00:24.309 --> 00:26.479
to the supply chain . We will also be

00:26.489 --> 00:28.440
focused on workforce efforts . And

00:28.489 --> 00:30.322
thirdly , we are proud to be the

00:30.322 --> 00:32.489
National Center for Cyber Security and

00:32.489 --> 00:34.322
Manufacturing . We've received a

00:34.322 --> 00:36.489
million dollars from the United States

00:36.489 --> 00:38.545
Department of Defense and we're very

00:38.545 --> 00:40.656
excited to receive additional funding

00:40.656 --> 00:42.711
because we all know with the digital

00:42.711 --> 00:42.654
thread , you need to protect the

00:42.665 --> 00:44.985
information just as much as you need to

00:44.994 --> 00:47.161
carry it , develop it , measure it and

00:47.161 --> 00:49.383
analyze it and take a look at where the

00:49.383 --> 00:51.494
rest of the world is investing and so

00:51.494 --> 00:53.661
forth and it is in heavy manufacturing

00:53.661 --> 00:55.883
and we're answering that call and we're

00:55.883 --> 00:58.050
moving things forward . We've actually

00:58.050 --> 00:59.827
put digital printers , additive

00:59.827 --> 01:01.938
manufacturing printers out on ships ,

01:01.938 --> 01:03.827
an aircraft carrier , put it on a

01:03.827 --> 01:06.050
submarine and Marine Corps has taken it

01:06.050 --> 01:07.938
out . We bring together different

01:07.938 --> 01:07.769
groups that normally can't come

01:07.779 --> 01:09.839
together here . The big word here is

01:09.849 --> 01:11.905
Cooper , operation and co ordination

01:11.905 --> 01:14.449
and intentional pipelines and pathways .

01:14.510 --> 01:16.879
Wherever the expertise lies in the

01:16.889 --> 01:18.833
United States , we wanted to bring

01:18.833 --> 01:21.000
those folks together to accelerate the

01:21.000 --> 01:22.778
development and the adoption of

01:22.778 --> 01:24.500
different . We are the Digital

01:24.500 --> 01:26.750
Manufacturing Institute of the United

01:26.760 --> 01:28.927
States and particularly if you look at

01:28.927 --> 01:31.010
our logo and you follow the red line

01:31.019 --> 01:33.500
around it that is representing the ever

01:33.510 --> 01:36.069
evolving digital thread . We see

01:36.080 --> 01:38.358
incredible opportunities in the future ,

01:38.358 --> 01:40.510
powered by digital manufacturing and

01:40.519 --> 01:42.686
innovative manufacturers come to us to

01:42.686 --> 01:45.839
for that future 3 to

01:46.500 --> 01:46.760
