Using Solidworks and 3D printers, designed a model of an independent rear suspension found in a car
Design needed to fit multiple requirements and pass multiple tests
Requirements included sizing and mounting methods
Tests included:
-Supporting 10 lb weight
-Supporting 5 lb weight dropped from 2 feet
-Supporting 20lb-in torque force
-Ability to flex at least half an inch
-Ability for one axle to shift up by 1 inch while the other axle remains stationary
