I would not use Exponent for all of your testing. Most testing does not need the premium services that Exponent provides. If you need testing done that will be scrutinized, use Exponent. They will ensure that your tests are done correctly and will hold up under review. They are also great if you do not know how to perform a test or need help designing the testing regime.

Strengths: The main strengths of Exponent Biomechanical group is their expertise and reputation. You will be working with some great biomechanics experts. Everything from the quote to the final report are well written and very detailed. They have onsite load frames to perform the testing and you are encouraged to be present during testing. Besides the project leads, they have great support personnel. In many labs, the expertise of the Exponent support staff would be your lead on the project.

If equipment is needed which this office does not have, they can leverage their internal and external network to find a place that does have it.

They can design fixtures and arrange for fabrication as well.

Needs to improve: The in house expertise, professionalism and attention to detail all come at a price, cost. They are not cheap by any means. In fact, they can be up to twice as expensive as other labs. Be careful of up selling. While in many cases this can increase the data collected, make sure that it is necessary to your project.

Our firm has heard that Exponent Inc is an industry leader in mechanical testing so we decided to outsource our testing to their 3rd party facilities and labs as we don't have the capacity to do everything in house. The results were fantastic. We were pleased by the level of data accuracy along with the reporting they provided. The testing is heavily involved in our assembly process so we need to make sure this gets done properly. Customer service is great as they took time to guide us through the entire process. Will definitely use again!

We have contracted out Exponent Inc for ad hoc testing on some of our equipment and assembly line machinery. Their staff is extremely sharp, and dedicated to the job on hand. They were able to identify specific bottlenecks and inefficiencies and were able to point out the causes immediately. Additionally, they offered suggestions on how to maintain and upkeep our components to prevent these from arising again in the future. I highly recommend this group.

Strengths: Excellent testing services, competitive pricing, expert staff, fast turnaround.
