8月4日消息，互联网行业巨头Facebook虽然以软件产品著称，但他们显然不会一条腿走路，硬件业务也是这家公司的主营业务之一，早前，Facebook在加州门罗公园总部新建了一个占地2.2万平方英尺的硬件试验室，于今年7月正式建成，名称为Area 404。不久前，Facebook对外展示了这个新的硬件实验室，外媒得以进入一探究竟。
Area 404修建的目的是帮助Facebook加快在硬件产品上研发和测试的步伐，这座实验室第一眼看过去就像是一座空旷的工厂，Facebook的工程师斯宾塞·伯恩斯（Spencer Burns）表示，在过去，如果将硬件测试项目外包给外部的实验室，可能要花费好几周，而现在有了自己的实验室，完成这些工作仅需几天。在这里，外媒看到了很多集成了高端科技的设备，包括水流切割机，通过高速喷出水和石榴石矿物的混合物，能够切割几乎一切材料。还有五轴铣床，能够将实验样品倾斜和旋转，从而打造出非常精准的切口。
当然，这些设备看起来高大上的同时，也要考虑安全因素，Facebook方面表示，这座实验室里有很多地方连该公司的CEO扎克伯格也被限制进入。
