1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000 2 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,420 Innovation means empowering others to 3 00:00:09,420 --> 00:00:11,587 actively participate in change . We're 4 00:00:11,587 --> 00:00:15,320 not innovating , we're losing and we 5 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:16,320 will not lose . 6 00:00:26,580 --> 00:00:29,110 This is a device that we will use to 7 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,750 gather information and create somewhat 8 00:00:32,750 --> 00:00:35,640 of a model in space in the computer 9 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,000 world . That way we can then analyze 10 00:00:38,010 --> 00:00:41,750 the dimensions and create cat generated 11 00:00:41,750 --> 00:00:45,240 software to actually three D . Print , 12 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,220 then machine the parts out as helping 13 00:00:48,220 --> 00:00:51,550 us out . We don't actually have to 14 00:00:51,550 --> 00:00:53,494 remove this from the aircraft , we 15 00:00:53,494 --> 00:00:55,439 don't have to worry about damaging 16 00:00:55,439 --> 00:00:57,550 anything off of the aircraft . We can 17 00:00:57,550 --> 00:00:59,661 scan that while it is in the aircraft 18 00:00:59,661 --> 00:01:03,290 to generate this rather inexpensive 19 00:01:03,300 --> 00:01:06,810 prototype instead of guessing the 20 00:01:06,810 --> 00:01:09,330 numbers , machining a lot of expensive 21 00:01:09,340 --> 00:01:11,507 aluminum , then finding out it doesn't 22 00:01:11,507 --> 00:01:13,451 work , then you got to redo it all 23 00:01:13,451 --> 00:01:15,690 again . Let's set it up and let's try 24 00:01:15,690 --> 00:01:17,801 to build this thing on the cheap that 25 00:01:17,801 --> 00:01:20,023 way we waste a bunch of plastic instead 26 00:01:20,023 --> 00:01:22,246 of a lot of pressure . I want to try to 27 00:01:22,246 --> 00:01:24,579 keep that rain grain as much as you can . 28 00:01:24,580 --> 00:01:26,890 I was consulted as far as do you think 29 00:01:26,890 --> 00:01:29,450 this would be a helpful tool for us ? 30 00:01:29,460 --> 00:01:31,940 And I was like absolutely because we 31 00:01:31,940 --> 00:01:34,162 don't have to go out and disassemble an 32 00:01:34,162 --> 00:01:36,880 aircraft , we can scan apart and leave 33 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,230 the aircraft in service . Therefore it 34 00:01:39,230 --> 00:01:42,670 can provide its service and we can do , 35 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,200 we can then begin our work and once 36 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,660 that gets completed we can swap it out 37 00:01:47,660 --> 00:01:50,620 so aircraft downtime , we're trying to 38 00:01:50,620 --> 00:01:53,570 minimalize that as best we can . The 39 00:01:53,580 --> 00:01:55,802 quicker we can get a part in and out of 40 00:01:55,802 --> 00:01:58,280 that machine , we're good to go and now 41 00:01:58,290 --> 00:02:02,260 all this G code in this space 42 00:02:03,170 --> 00:02:05,337 is going to tell it where to move this 43 00:02:05,337 --> 00:02:07,560 table in conjunction with that tool to 44 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,671 create the part that we stand earlier 45 00:02:09,671 --> 00:02:11,893 really without spark tank , none of the 46 00:02:11,893 --> 00:02:13,949 uh , the processes , the information 47 00:02:13,949 --> 00:02:16,004 that we used , none of it would have 48 00:02:16,004 --> 00:02:18,060 been brought forward to leadership . 49 00:02:18,060 --> 00:02:20,227 Nobody would have seen it except our , 50 00:02:20,227 --> 00:02:22,282 my boss down the hall . This one was 51 00:02:22,282 --> 00:02:25,210 funded um , and luckily one of the 52 00:02:25,210 --> 00:02:27,377 other items got funded through the Air 53 00:02:27,377 --> 00:02:29,377 Force . So we're halfway toward our 54 00:02:29,377 --> 00:02:31,432 goal at this point . But without the 55 00:02:31,432 --> 00:02:33,488 spark tank , nobody would have known 56 00:02:33,488 --> 00:02:35,654 anything about what we do here . If we 57 00:02:35,654 --> 00:02:38,760 have the most innovative equipment that 58 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,970 we can get our hands on that gives us 59 00:02:40,970 --> 00:02:42,748 an edge to stay in front of the 60 00:02:42,748 --> 00:02:45,340 competition . This is innovation . This 61 00:02:45,340 --> 00:02:47,340 was a successful idea worth getting 62 00:02:47,340 --> 00:02:49,700 behind Now , is your turn , does your 63 00:02:49,700 --> 00:02:51,980 unit or squadron have a great idea that 64 00:02:51,980 --> 00:02:54,360 sparks change for the better ? Well , 65 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,090 you can with the Fy 23 Airmen pitch 66 00:02:57,090 --> 00:02:59,550 process , you can pitch your idea in 67 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,100 five easy steps check below for all the 68 00:03:02,100 --> 00:03:04,211 information you need . We want you to 69 00:03:04,211 --> 00:03:06,580 succeed . You can also pitch your idea 70 00:03:06,580 --> 00:03:08,802 on the 4 12 test wing innovation app as 71 00:03:08,802 --> 00:03:11,024 well . And don't forget keep a look out 72 00:03:11,024 --> 00:03:13,191 and watch the best of the best ideas , 73 00:03:13,191 --> 00:03:15,480 compete for funding and resources at 74 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,850 spark tank 2023 coming this spring
