And you can see as we start scanning an item behind me on the screen is going to be a the scan data will actually pop up on the screen showing exactly the data we've collected.

There is little ports here, and all that's going to be within a few thousands of an inch of the real part. So, it's going to be part to be able, be able to do some type of reverse engineering of this part inside a computer. We also have the part we've already created inside of SolidWorks. And we're going to compare and contrast the part we scan from, which is the, the data we have inside of the computer. Also while we're here at…
