for many things for many defy types of folks. wire super proud to have our ribbon cutting. some of you have had a tour and you'll be able to see all the wonderful things. a little bit about some of the things we did if develop this space is it was very important that we use green building design standards. so in all of our construction of the project and so many of the things the lighting for example, the heating and cooling systems all done with lead compliant standards and then in the near future we'll be using solar on the roof and generating such as
8:33 pm
75 percent of our power requirements here. so very green approach to the space. so this is the home of our consumer product groups headed up by this lady and as well as our advanced research groups that's doing bioresearch. so i think without further ado it's my great pleasure to introduce the audit desks president ceo ceo and chief maker. carl was instrumental if helping us choose the equipment and he's capable of working with
8:34 pm
everything in the shop so carl (clapping) >> good morning, everybody. and thanks for being here. it's a real pleasure to be able to stand here and open up the facility. as i look around i see many, many people who are instrumental in helping this project get started. as many of you know building a project it's not a typical building or a typical use your typical site and we worked closely with many of the people both on architecture and construction and people in the city government and people at the port. everybody was wonderful. it's making up it seems like months ago it was a crazy idea
8:35 pm
and now it is already people have peeked in and seen is it. it's what everything wants. we're really excited about it. for in developing our software so groups include the structurally group and it distributes the work and we have the tools to make what people want to make but also our advanced research group. so we have an advanced group here looking at the future of manufacturing. so we're happy to are participate and it's my pleasure to be here. under were so many people that
8:36 pm
contributed. i'll just tell you there's nothing for fun i've been working on a go-cart and trying out the equipment and a calibrating the machines but there's nothing more fun than the tourists coming walking down and be looking in and get to watch you use the equipment 80 to make stuff. it's really a great location in being not only in the center of the city. there's so many things that hearsay a hands on place but this is the next place. how do we take science and make it a workable item. thanks to everybody
8:37 pm
(clapping) >> all right. thank you very much carl. mayor lee >> thank you. >> invite you up next. >> wow. first of all, chris and carl congratulations to everyone with auto desk. and unusually it's been about the office expansion at the one market had he highway his staff is expanding. and it's invaluable to our own tech industry and our capital that our city a proud to be that all desk is right here. when you go to the museum you'll realize there's a new history here. some years ago the engineers and the architect in my office came up to me and said you've god got
8:38 pm
to understand cad the computer sawdust thing now everybody is on computer. this is the new training we have to do and fast forward you go to the laboratory sites in mission bay and look at the bio sciences what we're doing and you see our own cells in 3-d and how the medical dloefrz are being made and you can from people who design the golden gate bridge and you realize this technology is now infiltrating everything we want to do with cell structures and assisting doctors
8:39 pm
discover how to look at cells easier to get to the solutions of the big diseases. well, now you've got this space and walking through here with supervisor chu and supervisor kim we're calibrating ourselves what the heck to do because there is so much to be done. i can talk about it but i have to suggest it to you this is the beginning of manufacturing what we thought it was. there is a redid i mention going on with the machinery the way this 3-d ability at looking at things in an additional way and making them available to the intirnlz this year this is what the ports always wanted to do
8:40 pm
exhibit this. for years monique and i have tried to a figure out how do we get our waterfront that much more innovative. the reason why you take such views you match them with the innovative spirit we have on staff at auto desk and you realize people inventing things here is going to be incredible and auto desk is in the center. you're looking at a company that's going to teach people how to use tools like this. one of their staff i think nova has his own website to teach people how to kiss.
8:41 pm
of course, i've induced supervisor kim to go directly to that website to be instructed but that's one of thousands of instructions that gone with new tools. i talked to carla few minutes ago about the introduction of tablets into the schools and the kids might get the applications. it's incredible part of our education were fast forward not only are those machines and tools exposing people to a new way of manufacturing but we need to make more things and allow the world to do it in a modern
8:42 pm
way. it's not just having the workshops but exposing them to the 3-d abilities. that manufacturing that ability to manufacture onshore will be introduced right here in san francisco because of this incredible performance. they have a bio printing. what's that. some of the people from my hometown in seattle want to give him a bet on the 479 and seahawks and they want me to shave off my mustache and if i do that i don't expect too because we'll win i have bio
8:43 pm
printing to help me roar that maybe i've got a tool. the bio printing is going to be an extremely serious work. along with the playful and educational introduction we're on the verge of a huge transportation. just like when the engineers came to my office we're no longer going to use 2 dimensional we're going to help everybody to solve problems in the world. it's that addressed dimension and it's incredible to fast forward a new economy that's going to be here. so you can obviously feel the
8:44 pm
excitement it's like a kid walking into a candy store and thinking and calibrating what we can do as a city to support this just explosion i think that will go on. it's happening in the city and the waterfront and congratulations carl and you're wonderful staff being here introducing us to a new version of the markers movement manufacturing. i'm proud of the city and of the people here because it begins with people's to his and it improves people's lives. thank you very much (clapping) >> thank you very much. and we certainly appreciate your support throughout the project.
8:45 pm
another gentleman who's been helpful throughout this process is supervisor chu and i'll introduce him to come up and make a few remarks thank you, sir >> let me first say that supervisor kim and you are still thinking about the website but we need an instrumental video to teach the mayor how to shave the mustache. i want to introduce newest member and supervisor kim reminded me that you have also extended our generosity as a neighbor northeasterly he will e helping us to port the job training to everyone can be part of our technology boom.
8:46 pm
it was an, however, to move all of you here i want to thank supervisor kim. i was excited because 4 years ago i started a software company and as mayor lee and jane know more many, many years i thought our city is so close to silicon valley by the way, we all wondered why wasn't more of that happening in our city. it's great to be part of that movement. really this is about good things. i want to talk about how we're transforming our waterfront. we were talking about our peers that were literally crumpling into the sea whether the new
8:47 pm
explore tuchl thank you, very much but we're transforming our waterfront that's been here for over a century and transforming it, it's beautiful so it's part of the bay and a respectful. the last thing i want to say i'm excited about all the cool things. i have two more things to ask you to make. we have to show up for a lot of things so i want you to clone elected officials and the last thing hopefully, you'll need a bigger 3-d printing machine of muni buses that don't breakdown so thank you
8:48 pm
(clapping) >> yeah, we need a big printer. laeft the supervisor monique >> well good, afternoon on, on on behalf of the port staff and commissioners it's an honor to have you here at the pier 9. the port is celebrating it's 1 hundred and 50 anniversary. the reason the port was founded was to do something to build our seawall. and from the seawall i don't know how many of you know that land is at the hotel at montgomery so everything is resting on the seawall. it strikes me to know how cool it is to welcome auto desk for
8:49 pm
their innovation. the seawall was designed on a dine competition. the very first phase was awarded to a person who had the best design and there were 7 engineers who built this for a 1 and 50 years so it's fantastic i can't imagine if they had you to know what the seawall looked like or how much longer is would last. pier 9 is our secret and it's great to see you all here. thank you for your patience and it's now sound like it's not a secret anywhere but it's an important place to us where we q
