3D Images Can Help For A Better Patient-Centered Approach

February 22, 2017

Why are 3D equipment and demonstrations being used in the medical field?

The best way to learn is to see it in action

Because they can easily be understood. It is a key way to effectively communicate key information to the professionals who use them and the patients receiving the care.

Giving the interaction between the patient and care provider a more effective and meaningful communication as they realistically demonstrate how medical devices should be installed, look, and work.

Benefits of 3D Design

A more accurate picture
A fraction of the cost compared to other prototyping services.
Accuracy and flexibility of 3D design models.
Gain an accurate picture quickly, efficiently, and within budget.

QA Graphics: We’re thankful – 10 years of making a difference!

November 22, 2016

It is that time of year when we all take the time to step back and look at our life to consider all that we should be thankful for and to spend time with family and friends. QA Graphics turns ten years old this coming year and with that said, there are many things we are thankful for.

As a company, QA Graphics is thankful for the ten years we have been able to serve the HVAC/BAS graphics industry, our employees, co-workers, clients, the city of Ankeny, our vendors, and associates we work with. Without these pieces, our puzzle would not be as complete as it is now. We are thankful as we have made a difference in our industry, in our business, and in our employee’s lives over the past ten years.

We hope that this Thanksgiving you can take time and reflect on your life and the joys that you have. During this holiday, we all here at QA Graphics will be trying to spend as much time with family and friends and we hope you do the same.
