It depends on what one is trying to test. From what I've read here, the one piece chassis here was essentially presented as a tested though experiment-- "can I make a one piece chassis work?" Was the test and the answer appears to be "in CAD? Yes, In reality? No." I'd argue that if that was the intended test, this was a good one of CADD skill.

In terms of being an engineering/DFMA test, it falls short, but that doesn't appear to be the intent. Anyhow, I digress; it's not worth ruminating over.

cxcad: Good job, keep up the good work. I hope to see more designs from you! It's always nice to see new designs and ideas around here to shake things up a bit. I'll have to take a closer look when I get a chance.
