Insight: Performing life testing and abuse testing combined with FEA enabled the correct material to be specified for the core and material use optimisation.
Challenge: Discover a novel effective solution in an already saturated area.
Solution: An elegant and economical solution that offered competitive advantage. Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
