Needs - Supply Chain Bottlenecks!

  • If you know a vendor for PETG, polycarbonate, or 0.020"/0.030" thin transparent plastic, add them to the Vendors and Material Suppliers section of the statewide equipment and resources sheet

  • hospitals seem to want PETG or ABS, PETG is a bit brittle with the current hole placements.
