Fisher Cavitrol Hex trim from Emerson divides fluid flow using geometry produced by additive manufacturing.
The Cool Parts Show, the video podcast produced by the editorial team from Additive Manufacturing magazine, just launched its latest episode featuring Emerson’s Fisher Cavitrol hex trim. They discuss how this product was originally made by brazing multiple pieces of tubing together to create a honeycomb shape, preventing cavitation and stabilizing pressure. The product was eventually discontinued, but additive manufacturing has made it possible to produce this part again much more easily than before.
