AND OUTLANDISH CREATIONS HERE,
GOOD MORNING, JENNIFER.
>> Reporter: WELL, HEY THERE,
I'M HANGING WITH CAMILLE HERE
AND HE'S THE GE SPONSOR HERE,
WHAT BROUGHT YOU HERE, WHY IS
THIS SO IMPORTANT TO YOU GUYS?
>> WELL, GE IS A COMPANY OF
MAKERS, OUR FOUNDER, EDISON WAS
ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS MAKERS
OF ALL TIME, WE HAVE ENGINEERS
THAT HAVE MAKING CODE THAT MAKE
THE MACHINES SMARTER AND WE'RE
USING THAT IN NORTHWEST
MICHIGAN WITH OUR FACTORIES, SO
IT MADE SENSE TO COME HERE.
WE'RE DETROIT STRONG AND WE
LIVEBY THE MOTTO HERE OF THE
ENGINEERS.
>> AND YOU WORK ON DESIGN
PROGRAMS THAT MAKE THINGS WORK,
HAVE YOU A BIT OF A
DEMONSTRATION HERE AND YOU SAID
THIS A SMALLER SIZE OF A JET,
BUT THE SAME PROCESS HERE.
WE HAVE AN EARLY PROTOTYPE HERE
AND A WORKING ONE -- AND THIS
LITTLE THING, I DON'T KNOW
WHATKIND OF A THING WE COULD
CALL THAT.
>> WE DESIGNED THAT WITH A 3D.
PRINTER AND THIS IS HOW THIS
WAS MADE.
YOU CAN MOVE IT AROUND AS YOU
ARE DOING NOW.
>> Reporter: SO THIS IS
BASICALLY A SORTER AND THEN
HERE'S THE FINAL PROTOTYPE.
>> THIS ONE IS SOFTWARE IN GE
AND IT SEPARATES THE GOOD ONES
FROM THE BAD.
>> Reporter: LOOK AT THAT, THAT
PENNY IS 52.4% OF WHAT WE'RE
DOING TODAY, SO IT CALCULATES
THE DATA,.
>> RIGHT AND IT'S USING THE
SOFTWARE CALLED CRITICS AND YOU
CAN DO ALL THE SCENARIOS AND
WHEN WE'RE SORTING THE PARTS,
GOOD QUALITY FROM BAD AND THAT
CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE IN A
ENGINE OF A JET.
>> Reporter: RIGHT.
>> WE HAVE ROBOTS USUALLY DOING
THIS, IS YOU'RE OUR ROBOT, SO
THEY WOULD MOVE THE PART TO THE
NEXT MACHINE.
>> Reporter: COME BACK WITH ME,
SO WE CAN HEAR YOU TALK.
SO I PUT THE PENNY IN HERE AND
THEN I HAVE TO PUT THE MUSCLE
BEHIND IT?
>> RIGHT, AND YOU HAVE TO CRANK
IT AND NOW IT'S A CUSTOMIZED
PENNY JUST FOR YOU.
>> Reporter: THAT WAS EASY,
LOOK AT THAT, IT'S SO PRETTY.
>> PERFECT AND THE MACHINE USES
THE SOFTWARE TO GET THE
DIFFERENT OUTPUTS.
>> Reporter: I LOVE THAT AND
IT'S JUST A SIMPLE VERSION OF
WHAT YOU GUYS DO TODAY, WHAT
ARE YOU HOPING TO INSPIRE TO
DO?
>> WE WANT TO INSPIRE PEOPLE TO
CREATE AND MAKE THINGS.
WE INSPIRE TO BUILD THINGS, ALL
THESE THINGS WERE BUILT BY
VOLUNTEERS IN TIME.
AND WE WANT TO GET MORE PEOPLE
TO UNDERSTAND AND WE HAVE MORE
ENGINEERS OUT THERE ARE I LOVE
IT.
THE FAIR STARTS AT 9:30 A.M.
AND THEN GOES TO 6. RIGHT HERE
AT THE MUSEUM AT HENRY FORD AND
JUST ACRES AND ACRES OF THE
STUFF TO DO.

ROOM AND THEY'RE ENCOURAGED TO
GO PLAY DURING THEIR SHIFT SEE,
I LOVE THAT.

ARELISTENING AT WXYZ.
