We kicked off our 2016 trade show season in Anaheim, CA for MD&M West – February 9^th through 11^th. Not only was it a nice break from the cold, snowy weather here in West Lafayette, IN, but we also had a great show! This year we featured a TA ElectroForce 3100 fatigue tester as part of our booth to show off one of our numerous testing capabilities. Last year we completed over 3 billion cycles with our fatigue testers for a single client! We also had opportunities to discuss other capabilities including R&D, simulation, regulatory, and many other services we offer.

Additionally, Brandon Davis, one of our engineers, gave a Tech Talk on Design Verification Testing: What Should You Do When a Testing Standard Doesn’t Exist? Brandon discussed the importance of being involved with standard committees to establish a new standard test method or modify an existing method. He also discussed developing a new non-standard test method and how to mitigate risk with test method validation. The talk was such a success an article highlighting its key points was published the next day by QMed! Overall, we were very happy with our booth, new leads, and Tech Talk success at the show. We are looking forward to heading back to Anaheim next year!
