Created presentations to provide engineering and business justification for the purchase of $200k MTS fatigue/destructive testing system, $55k Coordinate Measurement System, and $25k shock dyno. Equipment enabled R&D, testing, and precise measurement to optimize suspension/other subassembly design and quality control for improved ride experience. CEO/Board approved equipment purchase based on these presentations Put in place CAD based tolerance stack-up analysis to more efficiently… Show more Created presentations to provide engineering and business justification for the purchase of $200k MTS fatigue/destructive testing system, $55k Coordinate Measurement System, and $25k shock dyno.
