And so that's parts of the administration, that's private equity, that's venture capital, that's bankers, that's others.
But anyone who's really interested in driving American manufacturing forward and making us globally competitive again, we work with.
And we're very excited about our growth.
Donald Trump Jr.
is a partner at 1789 Capital, which is now one of the key investors in this particular round.
I'm interested in what this money is going to be used for, Kevin.
You've given us the what you do.
What does 220 million add to the vision for you?
Yeah, so what that money is allowing us to do is finish the build-out of Vulcan 1, where I am today, to build out Vulcan 2, which is up in Newburyport, Massachusetts.
So both factory locations are outside of Boston, and then we are actively building out a third factory location that we'll be starting production in July of this year.
And then we're in design on a much larger campus-type location that will be somewhere in the U.S.
We can geek out on this show, luckily.
Production grade metal products by bringing the atoms closer.
How are you achieving this, Kevin?
What is it that you've done as a breakthrough that makes this 3D printing so unique and so quick to be able to provide for local domestic manufacturing?
Yeah, this is leveraging a lot of the learning that I had from my semiconductor days and my time at Tesla and my time at Redwood Materials.
If you think about the product delivery in terms of global supply chain, there's not much we can do about where metal atoms are deposited in the world, but they're in circulation all over.
And so what we're doing is we're identifying
that supply chain and minimizing the distance metal atoms need to travel.
We have some customers, their metal supply chain is over 20,000 miles.
