• Conduct thorough analysis and testing of CAD models to identify and address potential design flaws or issues.
• Stay updated on industry trends and advancements in CAD technology, incorporating best practices to enhance our design processes.

This is the next level you achieve after 6 months:

• Significantly increased team knowledge by rapid iterations on current design.
• A graveyard of failed concepts which fueled our coffee-tech knowledge.
