He would make the castings and suddenly on the internet, up would pop, hey, do you guys want water pump housings for a Ford whatever tractor? This whole backdoor market would start. So he started naming the parts something weird. These are rotor girders. And that would work? Yeah, it works. Yeah.

So there's this whole thing that happens with manufacturing where, yes, you can get things made somewhere else. And yes, it's way less expensive, but ultimately you will be undermined. And it's a strange thing. And so the question is, why don't we make it in America? Why don't we?

So the first thing I did is I went to my computer and I used computer-aided design software and I designed the scrubber. The thought was, we have the chain mail and we need a squishy thing to put behind the chain mail and we want to use the least amount of material possible.

And so there's certain shapes that pack together really well. And a hexagon is one of the most efficient shapes that you can do what's called tessellations. And I remember being irritated in the CAD because you think that would be a really easy thing to do, just say, make me a honeycomb. But it turns out there's not an easy way to do that in CAD.

Flow is the best way to describe it. You start to have really, really serious opinions about fillet radiuses. And as an engineer, I love this part.

I went to this facility and I said, hey, we've designed this thing. I 3D printed it. This is what it looks like. Can you please make us a lot of these? We want to make a mold, and we want to make these at your facility. And the guy goes, sure, no problem. And we said, oh, by the way, we want to make the mold in America. We want everything about this to be done in America.
