Testimonial: 3D printing of model hearts by Phoenix Children’s Hospital workflow made safer with ductless technology
Cardiac surgeons require a great deal of imagery before they operate on a child’s heart. They need to be able to visualize the arrangement of the heart’s components and defects they want to correct before they embark on surgery. For decades, visualization imagery was provided by MRIs and CT scans. Now those imaging technologies are… Learn More
Maintenance welding is an oil and gas industry application
Size matters. To support off-shore operations, for example, helicopters must be big enough to manage adverse weather and able to carry as many as two dozen crew members, plus their equipment, to rigs moored in deep water. However, the opposite is true for fume extractors used for maintenance welding on the rigs. These air filtration… Learn More
