Challenges met

Because the ultrasound method used in this research is so rare, a custom set up had to be created to hold and administer the ultrasound. Joshua Cain has worked with the Lux Lab over the past two years to develop prototypes and eventually functioning pieces to hold the ultrasound and chin seats in position. His parts were printed in high density PLA with our Makerbot printers, as they needed to be very durable and precise.
