Narrator:
A dive light is essential
When scuba diving at night,
4
00:00:56,137 --> 00:00:58,965
But can also be used
For daytime dives
5
00:00:58,965 --> 00:01:02,206
To explore
Underwater caves and shipwrecks.
6
00:01:02,206 --> 00:01:05,103
The deeper you dive,
The more water absorbs
7
00:01:05,103 --> 00:01:07,413
Certain colors
In the light spectrum.
8
00:01:07,413 --> 00:01:08,965
When you use
An artificial light,
9
00:01:08,965 --> 00:01:12,000
You can see the underwater world
In true color.
10
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,310
The dive light is waterproof
To a depth of 295 feet.
11
00:01:20,793 --> 00:01:23,103
It's brighter
Than a car headlight,
12
00:01:23,103 --> 00:01:25,862
With six outer l.E.D. Lights
For floodlighting
13
00:01:25,862 --> 00:01:29,793
And three inner l.E.D.S
For alternate spotlighting.
14
00:01:31,241 --> 00:01:34,620
The dive light begins
As a conceptual drawing.
15
00:01:34,620 --> 00:01:38,172
The mechanical designer
Sketches out its basic features
16
00:01:38,172 --> 00:01:39,931
And a few proposed shapes.
17
00:01:41,931 --> 00:01:44,344
Then the company
Creates foam models.
18
00:01:44,344 --> 00:01:46,310
Scuba divers test these models
19
00:01:46,310 --> 00:01:49,000
And provide feedback
On the comfort of each shape.
20
00:01:50,482 --> 00:01:54,206
This market research
Results in the final design --
21
00:01:54,206 --> 00:01:56,448
A compact,
Hand-mounted dive-light
22
00:01:56,448 --> 00:01:58,827
With a user-friendly
Operating switch
23
00:01:58,827 --> 00:02:01,655
And three l.E.D.
Battery-life indicators.
24
00:02:06,413 --> 00:02:09,896
The housing's components are
Made of durable plastic pellets,
25
00:02:09,896 --> 00:02:12,000
Reinforced with glass fiber.
26
00:02:13,655 --> 00:02:17,000
Workers load the pellets into
An injection molding machine.
27
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,862
The machine melts them
And shoots the molten plastic
28
00:02:20,862 --> 00:02:24,344
Into the proper mold for
The component they are making.
29
00:02:24,344 --> 00:02:27,620
The machine then cools
The plastic to a solid state
30
00:02:27,620 --> 00:02:30,310
And injects
The newly formed part.
31
00:02:30,310 --> 00:02:32,241
This is the reflector.
32
00:02:32,241 --> 00:02:35,482
It combines the light
From the six outer l.E.D.S
33
00:02:35,482 --> 00:02:36,827
Into a single beam.
34
00:02:36,827 --> 00:02:38,448
It's coated in aluminum
35
00:02:38,448 --> 00:02:42,068
To increase
The amount of light it reflects.
36
00:02:42,068 --> 00:02:44,965
A 3-d printer
Produces prototypes
37
00:02:44,965 --> 00:02:47,275
For all of the parts
Before they are manufactured.
38
00:02:47,275 --> 00:02:49,172
Guided by a computer,
39
00:02:49,172 --> 00:02:51,758
The printer shoots out plastic
To build the part
40
00:02:51,758 --> 00:02:53,931
In three dimensions
From the bottom up.
41
00:02:57,413 --> 00:02:59,379
Once the prototype is approved,
42
00:02:59,379 --> 00:03:02,103
They make a mold
For mass production.
43
00:03:04,862 --> 00:03:07,275
This part is called
The light pipe.
44
00:03:07,275 --> 00:03:11,931
It has oval covers for the three
L.E.D. Battery-life indicators
45
00:03:11,931 --> 00:03:13,827
And a waterproof seal.
46
00:03:18,827 --> 00:03:24,034
Once all the housing parts
Are molded, assembly can begin.
47
00:03:24,034 --> 00:03:28,482
They insert the light pipe into
The main body of the housing.
48
00:03:28,482 --> 00:03:30,517
Then they attach a switch,
49
00:03:30,517 --> 00:03:33,172
Which turns the light
On and off.
50
00:03:33,172 --> 00:03:34,551
It also toggles the light
51
00:03:34,551 --> 00:03:37,034
Between spotlight
And floodlight modes.
52
00:03:40,620 --> 00:03:45,620
They don't need to pierce the
Housing to connect the switch.
53
00:03:45,620 --> 00:03:49,586
The switch slides a magnet over
The outside of the housing.
54
00:03:49,586 --> 00:03:51,827
The magnetic field communicates
Through the housing
55
00:03:51,827 --> 00:03:53,068
To sensors inside.
56
00:03:55,137 --> 00:03:58,206
Next they insert and connect
The circuit board...
57
00:04:00,827 --> 00:04:03,448
...Then the lithium-ion
Rechargeable battery.
58
00:04:03,448 --> 00:04:06,241
They plug its connector
Into the circuit board.
59
00:04:08,413 --> 00:04:11,586
This cover holds the internal
Parts in correct alignment.
60
00:04:13,068 --> 00:04:16,137
A silicone o ring
Forms a watertight seal
61
00:04:16,137 --> 00:04:19,137
Between the main body
And the light head.
62
00:04:19,137 --> 00:04:23,103
They snap the reflector over
The nine l.E.D.S,
63
00:04:23,103 --> 00:04:25,551
Which are attached
To a round circuit board.
64
00:04:27,137 --> 00:04:28,620
The circuit board is metal
65
00:04:28,620 --> 00:04:32,724
So that it will absorb the heat
The l.E.D. Lights generate.
66
00:04:32,724 --> 00:04:35,655
The screw-on aluminum bezel
67
00:04:35,655 --> 00:04:37,862
Makes contact
With the circuit board,
68
00:04:37,862 --> 00:04:40,206
Transferring the heat
Out of the housing
69
00:04:40,206 --> 00:04:42,310
And into the water.
70
00:04:42,310 --> 00:04:46,931
They conduct the first
Quality-control test in water.
71
00:04:46,931 --> 00:04:48,620
The dive light is turned on
72
00:04:48,620 --> 00:04:52,275
To verify that it will run
For 65 minutes on a full charge.
73
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,000
In the second
Quality-control test,
74
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,655
They submerge the dive light
In a pressurized tank.
75
00:05:00,655 --> 00:05:03,862
This simulates the pressure
The light would be subjected to
76
00:05:03,862 --> 00:05:06,655
At an underwater depth
Of about 300 feet.
77
00:05:07,896 --> 00:05:10,034
That's over twice
The diving depth
78
00:05:10,034 --> 00:05:12,241
Of a typical recreational dive.
79
00:05:16,758 --> 00:05:21,275
If the light doesn't spring
A leak, it passes the test.
80
00:05:22,896 --> 00:05:24,793
They fully recharge the battery,
81
00:05:24,793 --> 00:05:26,896
Which takes
Two and a half hours.
82
00:05:26,896 --> 00:05:28,448
At full charge,
83
00:05:28,448 --> 00:05:32,137
All three indicators
Light up green.
84
00:05:32,137 --> 00:05:33,931
As the charge drains,
85
00:05:33,931 --> 00:05:37,931
The indicators change
From green to orange to red,
86
00:05:37,931 --> 00:05:39,724
Then to flashing red,
87
00:05:39,724 --> 00:05:42,620
So scuba divers
Are never in the dark
88
00:05:42,620 --> 00:05:45,344
About how much juice
Is left in their light.
89
00:06:00,517 --> 00:06:03,413
Narrator:
Interchangeable sandals
Come with numerous ties
90
00:06:03,413 --> 00:06:07,344
That can be used to customize
The look of a pair of heels.
91
00:06:07,344 --> 00:06:10,241
The mix-and-match possibilities
Are endless.
92
00:06:10,241 --> 00:06:12,724
The wearer can try out
Many different styles
93
00:06:12,724 --> 00:06:14,758
On a small budget.
94
00:06:19,413 --> 00:06:21,206
With interchangeable footwear,
95
00:06:21,206 --> 00:06:24,724
You can change the look without
Actually changing your shoes.
96
00:06:28,310 --> 00:06:29,586
With a variety
97
00:06:29,586 --> 00:06:32,137
Of cloth and leather strappings
To choose from,
98
00:06:32,137 --> 00:06:34,344
A pair of sandals
Can be made to look different
99
00:06:34,344 --> 00:06:35,896
Each time you wear them.
100
00:06:38,586 --> 00:06:40,655
To make a pair
Of interchangeable sandals,
101
00:06:40,655 --> 00:06:42,448
They start with
A piece of hardwood,
102
00:06:42,448 --> 00:06:44,896
Like cherry, walnut, or maple.
103
00:06:47,586 --> 00:06:50,827
The employee cuts the wood
To a workable size.
104
00:06:52,931 --> 00:06:54,689
Then computer-driven routers
105
00:06:54,689 --> 00:06:57,482
Carve the rough shape
Of the sandals' heels,
106
00:06:57,482 --> 00:06:59,931
Making two heels
From a single block.
107
00:07:03,482 --> 00:07:07,344
The router sculpts
A cup for the wearer's heel
108
00:07:07,344 --> 00:07:09,241
And carves
A supportive structure
109
00:07:09,241 --> 00:07:10,586
For the arch of the foot.
110
00:07:14,586 --> 00:07:17,000
The router then shaves
The sides of the heels
111
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,931
And exposes
The grain of the wood.
112
00:07:23,655 --> 00:07:25,724
Then a worker takes over,
113
00:07:25,724 --> 00:07:28,758
Cutting away excess wood
With a band saw.
114
00:07:32,551 --> 00:07:34,275
She rounds the back of the heels
115
00:07:34,275 --> 00:07:36,172
And further refines
The structure.
116
00:07:37,344 --> 00:07:39,482
She now has a pair of heels.
117
00:07:43,241 --> 00:07:46,758
Another team member brushes
Rubber cement onto the soles.
118
00:07:46,758 --> 00:07:49,827
They are made of both
Natural and synthetic rubber.
119
00:07:53,206 --> 00:07:56,620
She applies glue
To the heels, too.
120
00:07:56,620 --> 00:08:00,241
She presses the heels
To the rubber soles.
121
00:08:02,517 --> 00:08:04,965
The glue takes
40 minutes to dry.
122
00:08:11,034 --> 00:08:12,931
Faux leather,
Backed by cushy padding,
123
00:08:12,931 --> 00:08:15,103
Is used to make the footbed.
124
00:08:15,103 --> 00:08:16,620
This material is similar
125
00:08:16,620 --> 00:08:18,586
To what is used to make
Flip-flops.
126
00:08:24,793 --> 00:08:27,000
The worker
Transfers the footbeds
127
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,517
To a silk-screen work station.
128
00:08:29,517 --> 00:08:32,620
She lowers a stencil
With the company's logo on it.
129
00:08:34,931 --> 00:08:37,310
She applies acrylic ink
130
00:08:37,310 --> 00:08:39,758
And squeegees the ink
Across the stencil
131
00:08:39,758 --> 00:08:42,827
To transfer the imagine
To the faux-leather footbeds.
132
00:08:50,827 --> 00:08:53,827
Another employee
Threads strong nylon cording
133
00:08:53,827 --> 00:08:55,482
Through the holes
In the footbeds
134
00:08:55,482 --> 00:08:57,793
To create loops
For the interchangeable ties.
135
00:09:02,482 --> 00:09:04,482
He presses rivets
Into the footbed
136
00:09:04,482 --> 00:09:05,965
To hold the loops in place.
137
00:09:14,517 --> 00:09:17,310
Then he attaches
The second part of the rivets
138
00:09:17,310 --> 00:09:18,827
To the protruding shafts.
139
00:09:22,965 --> 00:09:25,172
Using the special press,
140
00:09:25,172 --> 00:09:29,827
He flattens the rivets
To secure them to the footbed.
141
00:09:29,827 --> 00:09:31,655
The loops are now
Firmly attached
142
00:09:31,655 --> 00:09:33,655
And should hold up
To frequent tying.
143
00:09:38,206 --> 00:09:42,931
Another worker now glues the
Footbeds to the soles and heels.
144
00:09:49,620 --> 00:09:51,448
Next, she glues
The rubber heel caps
145
00:09:51,448 --> 00:09:54,034
To the bottoms of the shoes.
146
00:09:54,034 --> 00:09:57,620
The caps provide tread
And make the shoe more durable.
147
00:10:01,586 --> 00:10:04,344
A worker then sands
The sides of the sandals,
148
00:10:04,344 --> 00:10:08,103
Blending
All the layers together.
149
00:10:08,103 --> 00:10:11,344
He buffs the sides
Against a fine grit abrasive
150
00:10:11,344 --> 00:10:13,827
To give the surface
A nice sheen.
151
00:10:17,551 --> 00:10:21,172
Then he rubs an oil-based sealer
Into the wooden heels.
152
00:10:21,172 --> 00:10:23,517
This protects the wood
From moisture
153
00:10:23,517 --> 00:10:25,724
And also accentuates the grain.
154
00:10:30,655 --> 00:10:33,172
It's time to test the ties.
155
00:10:34,655 --> 00:10:36,724
She threads the ribbons
Through the loops.
156
00:10:36,724 --> 00:10:38,379
They're good to go.
157
00:10:43,482 --> 00:10:47,275
With many colorful ties
To choose from,
158
00:10:47,275 --> 00:10:50,034
These interchangeable sandals
Are many shoes in one.
159
00:11:06,413 --> 00:11:07,758
Narrator:
Racecar simulators
160
00:11:07,758 --> 00:11:11,310
Help train racecar drivers
Off the track.
161
00:11:11,310 --> 00:11:14,137
They provide realistic
Visuals and sensations --
162
00:11:14,137 --> 00:11:17,172
Bumps, jolts, swerves --
163
00:11:17,172 --> 00:11:18,965
Whatever movement you'd feel
164
00:11:18,965 --> 00:11:20,586
If you were sitting
In the driver's seat
165
00:11:20,586 --> 00:11:22,206
Of a real racecar.
166
00:11:26,103 --> 00:11:29,241
This racecar simulator
Can be programmed to produce
167
00:11:29,241 --> 00:11:32,275
A range of racing scenarios
And weather conditions.
168
00:11:32,275 --> 00:11:35,413
It can replicate
Any car on any track.
169
00:11:37,896 --> 00:11:40,448
First, a computer-guided laser
170
00:11:40,448 --> 00:11:43,517
Cuts many of the simulator's
Parts from steel sheets.
171
00:11:43,517 --> 00:11:45,793
After workers
Sand the rough areas,
172
00:11:45,793 --> 00:11:48,586
A machine reads the final shape
With a laser
173
00:11:48,586 --> 00:11:51,068
To make sure the part
Meets specifications.
174
00:11:54,586 --> 00:11:57,965
If a part requires bending,
It is done with a press.
175
00:11:57,965 --> 00:12:01,655
This is one of the side brackets
For the driver's seat.
176
00:12:03,206 --> 00:12:05,068
The simulator's main structure
177
00:12:05,068 --> 00:12:08,413
Is made primarily
Of steel tubing.
178
00:12:08,413 --> 00:12:12,034
They saw the lengths required.
179
00:12:12,034 --> 00:12:14,413
Then a computer-guided mill
Drills holes
180
00:12:14,413 --> 00:12:16,000
For the bolts
That will later be used
181
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,965
To attach
The simulator's components.
182
00:12:19,965 --> 00:12:22,241
Once all the steel tubes
Are ready,
183
00:12:22,241 --> 00:12:24,034
A welder puts them in a jig
184
00:12:24,034 --> 00:12:26,068
To align them correctly
For assembly.
185
00:12:36,413 --> 00:12:41,827
The structure's tubular parts
Are welded together.
186
00:12:41,827 --> 00:12:45,206
Then the worker adds the
Simulator's sheet-steel parts
187
00:12:45,206 --> 00:12:49,689
And sprays the structure
With industrial-grade paint.
188
00:12:49,689 --> 00:12:53,103
Now they mount
An audio speaker and amplifier
189
00:12:53,103 --> 00:12:55,793
For the vibration system.
190
00:12:55,793 --> 00:12:57,034
Motion controllers that move
191
00:12:57,034 --> 00:12:58,689
The steering wheel
And driver's seat
192
00:12:58,689 --> 00:13:00,448
Are also added.
193
00:13:02,655 --> 00:13:05,724
They install
The power distribution block
194
00:13:05,724 --> 00:13:11,379
And a sub-controller
For each of the two actuators.
195
00:13:11,379 --> 00:13:15,034
They install the cables required
For the simulator's components
196
00:13:15,034 --> 00:13:17,172
And plug them into a usb hub.
197
00:13:17,172 --> 00:13:19,517
Then they install the computer
198
00:13:19,517 --> 00:13:24,862
And plug it into the usb hub,
As well.
199
00:13:24,862 --> 00:13:27,241
They cover the top
Of the structure
200
00:13:27,241 --> 00:13:30,793
With a textured aluminum panel.
201
00:13:30,793 --> 00:13:33,896
They bolt the bottom of
The actuators to the structure
202
00:13:33,896 --> 00:13:37,758
And plug them
Into the sub-controllers inside.
203
00:13:37,758 --> 00:13:40,172
Then they mount
The driver's seat
204
00:13:40,172 --> 00:13:44,482
And bolt the top of the
Actuators to the back of it.
205
00:13:48,172 --> 00:13:49,862
A worker installs the seat belt,
206
00:13:49,862 --> 00:13:52,724
Along with the spring mechanism
That yanks the belt back
207
00:13:52,724 --> 00:13:56,275
When you hit the brakes.
208
00:13:56,275 --> 00:13:58,724
They close in the sides
Of the main structure
209
00:13:58,724 --> 00:14:00,068
With aluminum panels.
210
00:14:01,965 --> 00:14:05,068
Next they assemble
The simulator's three pedals --
211
00:14:05,068 --> 00:14:07,413
Gas, brakes, and clutch --
212
00:14:07,413 --> 00:14:09,689
And mount
The clutch mechanism to it.
213
00:14:15,689 --> 00:14:18,137
The pedal assembly is installed
214
00:14:18,137 --> 00:14:21,068
To the base
Of the steering frame.
215
00:14:23,275 --> 00:14:26,068
They mount the dashboard
To the top of the frame.
216
00:14:26,068 --> 00:14:27,724
It's made of carbon fiber
217
00:14:27,724 --> 00:14:30,655
And contains the computer
And audio controls.
218
00:14:33,310 --> 00:14:36,551
They attach the steering frame
To the main structure.
219
00:14:42,620 --> 00:14:44,724
Then they assemble
The steering wheel.
220
00:14:44,724 --> 00:14:46,965
Inside its base
Is a circuit board
221
00:14:46,965 --> 00:14:49,586
That controls the buttons
On the wheel and gear shift.
222
00:14:49,586 --> 00:14:52,517
It's called the shift paddle.
223
00:14:55,620 --> 00:14:58,586
They mount the shift paddle
To the base...
224
00:15:00,724 --> 00:15:03,448
...Then flip it over
To attach the wheel.
225
00:15:14,275 --> 00:15:16,827
Next workers assemble
The display frame.
226
00:15:16,827 --> 00:15:19,310
It holds the simulator's
Three monitors
227
00:15:19,310 --> 00:15:21,482
And three front speakers.
228
00:15:21,482 --> 00:15:23,931
Then they roll in
The rest of the simulator
229
00:15:23,931 --> 00:15:26,793
And plug the monitors
And speakers into the computer.
230
00:15:31,310 --> 00:15:34,137
Finally, the steering wheel
Is mounted to the dash.
231
00:15:34,137 --> 00:15:36,689
It snaps in and out,
Allowing the driver
232
00:15:36,689 --> 00:15:41,103
To easily switch
Between steering wheel models.
233
00:15:41,103 --> 00:15:44,137
The simulator is run through
Several days of test drives
234
00:15:44,137 --> 00:15:45,448
Before it ships out.
235
00:15:47,482 --> 00:15:50,310
Amusement parks
Also purchase these simulators
236
00:15:50,310 --> 00:15:53,965
To offer visitors
A racecar driving experience.
237
00:15:53,965 --> 00:15:57,551
They can even link
Multiple simulators together
238
00:15:57,551 --> 00:16:00,517
To race against each other
In virtual replicas
239
00:16:00,517 --> 00:16:02,689
Of the world's
Most famous racetracks.
240
00:16:14,068 --> 00:16:15,482
Narrator: in the 1980s,
241
00:16:15,482 --> 00:16:17,724
Fiberglass doors
Came on the market.
242
00:16:17,724 --> 00:16:19,000
They were well-insulated
243
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,793
And didn't warp
In humid conditions
244
00:16:20,793 --> 00:16:22,551
Like wood doors.
245
00:16:22,551 --> 00:16:26,034
However, they lacked the beauty
And texture of real wood.
246
00:16:26,034 --> 00:16:28,137
That's now changing
With technology
247
00:16:28,137 --> 00:16:31,172
That can make fiberglass doors
Look much more inviting.
248
00:16:35,206 --> 00:16:39,275
Fiberglass doors trick
The eye and fool visitors.
249
00:16:39,275 --> 00:16:41,965
Even up close,
They look like real wood.
250
00:16:41,965 --> 00:16:47,310
It's an illusion made possible
With the help of technology.
251
00:16:47,310 --> 00:16:52,034
A wood-grain fiberglass door
Starts with a real wood door.
252
00:16:52,034 --> 00:16:55,275
A computerized cutter
Carves various panels.
253
00:16:55,275 --> 00:17:00,965
An employee sands away
Any marks left by the cutter.
254
00:17:00,965 --> 00:17:02,620
He gently scrapes the wood
255
00:17:02,620 --> 00:17:04,862
With a wire brush
To expose the grain.
256
00:17:08,655 --> 00:17:10,344
He then assembles the panels
257
00:17:10,344 --> 00:17:12,275
Of the door within
A special fixture.
258
00:17:15,103 --> 00:17:18,275
Another team member scans
The wood door with a laser
259
00:17:18,275 --> 00:17:20,655
To confirm
Its dimensional accuracy.
260
00:17:20,655 --> 00:17:23,275
With that confirmation,
261
00:17:23,275 --> 00:17:25,137
They're ready to use
This wood door
262
00:17:25,137 --> 00:17:26,758
To make a fiberglass one.
263
00:17:28,586 --> 00:17:32,586
Next the worker pours a special
Silicone mixture onto the wood
264
00:17:32,586 --> 00:17:35,000
And leaves it to cure overnight.
265
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:39,689
This step was demonstrated using
A smaller section of the door.
266
00:17:39,689 --> 00:17:42,931
The silicone picks up all the
Definition of the wood grain,
267
00:17:42,931 --> 00:17:47,137
Creating
An exact copy of the door.
268
00:17:47,137 --> 00:17:50,137
Next an employee injects
A different silicone mixture
269
00:17:50,137 --> 00:17:51,379
Into a thin gap
270
00:17:51,379 --> 00:17:54,482
Between the recently created
Silicone copy
271
00:17:54,482 --> 00:17:56,103
And a sheet of steel.
272
00:17:56,103 --> 00:17:58,517
The second silicone door copy
Is thinner,
273
00:17:58,517 --> 00:18:03,310
Allowing for a better transfer
Of heat during the next process.
274
00:18:03,310 --> 00:18:06,448
They load the door copy,
Still on the steel sheet,
275
00:18:06,448 --> 00:18:09,068
Into a chemical deposition
Chamber.
276
00:18:09,068 --> 00:18:11,068
The chemical heats
The steel and the silicone,
277
00:18:11,068 --> 00:18:13,275
Causing a nickel-vapor shell
To form.
278
00:18:13,275 --> 00:18:15,379
The nickel shell
Has all the detail
279
00:18:15,379 --> 00:18:16,827
Of the original wood door.
280
00:18:16,827 --> 00:18:19,724
An employee files the edges
281
00:18:19,724 --> 00:18:22,206
And adds
A protective fiberglass cover
282
00:18:22,206 --> 00:18:24,931
Over the top of the shell.
283
00:18:24,931 --> 00:18:28,724
Workers then lower the
Nickel shell into a mold base.
284
00:18:28,724 --> 00:18:30,965
They remove the protective cover
285
00:18:30,965 --> 00:18:33,068
And are ready to use
The nickel shell
286
00:18:33,068 --> 00:18:34,758
To mold fiberglass door veneers.
287
00:18:34,758 --> 00:18:36,241
There are many nickel molds
288
00:18:36,241 --> 00:18:38,896
And a variety of door styles
At this factory.
289
00:18:45,068 --> 00:18:49,000
The fiberglass material now
Unwinds into a cutting station.
290
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,241
A worker slices it
Into uniform strips.
291
00:18:54,827 --> 00:18:59,172
The fiberglass has a dough-like
Consistency at this stage.
292
00:18:59,172 --> 00:19:03,448
He places a stack of fiberglass
Strips on the nickel door mold
293
00:19:03,448 --> 00:19:05,448
And lowers a hot press.
294
00:19:07,655 --> 00:19:11,000
The press squeezes and melts
The fiberglass.
295
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,103
It flows into the crevices
Of the mold.
296
00:19:14,103 --> 00:19:16,931
The fiberglass
Solidifies quickly.
297
00:19:16,931 --> 00:19:18,758
An employee removes it
From the press
298
00:19:18,758 --> 00:19:22,517
And sands the ragged edges.
299
00:19:22,517 --> 00:19:24,103
Another member of the team
300
00:19:24,103 --> 00:19:26,241
Confirms that the width
And thickness of the panel
301
00:19:26,241 --> 00:19:27,620
Are on target.
302
00:19:29,655 --> 00:19:32,448
They stain every
First-run fiberglass panel
303
00:19:32,448 --> 00:19:34,896
To expose
The transferred wood grain.
304
00:19:34,896 --> 00:19:36,551
This is a test.
305
00:19:36,551 --> 00:19:37,931
If the grain is good,
306
00:19:37,931 --> 00:19:41,172
It means there are no defects
In the nickel door mold.
307
00:19:41,172 --> 00:19:44,655
It's time to assemble
The fiberglass door.
308
00:19:44,655 --> 00:19:47,551
Rollers apply glue
To external framing wood.
309
00:19:50,448 --> 00:19:54,137
The team builds a frame around
The fiberglass door skin.
310
00:19:54,137 --> 00:19:56,482
They join the wood
To plastic casing
311
00:19:56,482 --> 00:19:59,827
At the top and bottom
Of the door.
312
00:19:59,827 --> 00:20:06,034
They place a second
Fiberglass door skin on the top.
313
00:20:06,034 --> 00:20:08,517
Then they feed
The door through rollers
314
00:20:08,517 --> 00:20:10,241
That squeeze it together.
315
00:20:10,241 --> 00:20:13,172
This activates the glue
For a strong assembly.
316
00:20:15,586 --> 00:20:18,448
The glue takes
Over 24 hours to dry.
317
00:20:21,241 --> 00:20:23,517
Next they load
The hollow fiberglass doors
318
00:20:23,517 --> 00:20:24,793
Into an insulating press.
319
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:32,000
The press closes, holding
The doors tightly in place.
320
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,931
A worker fills the hollow doors
321
00:20:33,931 --> 00:20:36,241
With polyurethane
Insulating foam.
322
00:20:39,793 --> 00:20:42,896
When foam begins to overflow
Through the vent holes,
323
00:20:42,896 --> 00:20:45,137
The worker knows
The doors are full.
324
00:20:48,827 --> 00:20:50,517
He caps the fill hole...
325
00:20:53,827 --> 00:20:57,482
...And runs a finger along the
Doors to remove any excess foam.
326
00:21:00,137 --> 00:21:02,137
Energy-efficient and stable,
327
00:21:02,137 --> 00:21:05,827
Fiberglass doors
Are a great alternative to wood.
328
00:21:05,827 --> 00:21:10,517
With eye-catching wood grain,
They're convincing imitations.
329
