AFS Hosts Manufacturing Day Open House
AFS hosted an open house on Oct. 3 at its headquarters in Schaumburg, Ill., in conjunction with the nation- wide Manufacturing Day. Manu- facturing Day addresses common misperceptions about manufacturing by giving manufacturers an opportu- nity to open their doors and show, in a
coordinated eff ort, what manufactur- ing is — and what it isn’t. AFS staff gave hands-on demonstra-
tions of metalcasting and discussed ca- reer opportunities. Participants also got to make their own casting to take home. For more information about MFG Day, go to

INTRODUCING THE
CR PORTABILITY: IT’S ABOUT TIME, IT’S ABOUT SPACE
In mobile imaging environments, portability and workflow are critical. Many CR systems are referred to as portable, but if you’ve ever had to carry them to the job site or fit them into a mobile darkroom, you realize they aren’t so portable. That’s why Carestream NDT created the next generation of truly portable CR systems; HPX-PRO. Not only does it have the smallest footprint in the industry, but it can be carried with one hand or with a shoulder strap and easily fits into a mobile darkroom. Designed for high production image processing, exceptional image quality, rapid analysis and annotation, simple file sharing, and automated custom reporting, Carestream’s HPX-PRO is redefining the portable CR space.
Progressive. Productive. Profitable.
