FAQ
_____________________________
Q1: What value does a ForceBoard™ offer compared to competitors?
ForceBoard™ provides rapid, multi-domain mechanical testing in single unit desktop based systems, designed for R&D teams and scientists who want to avoid multiple large, bulky machines with slow return on investment.
Q2: Is buying from you risk-free?
Yes. All our products come with a 100% user satisfaction guarantee and extensive support. Our sole focus is ensuring you are fully satisfied as a ForceBoard user.
Q3: Do you ship worldwide?
Yes. We ship worldwide via FedEx, except to countries subject to U.S. sanctions.
Q4: Are there any annual maintenance or recurring fees associated with owning a ForceBoard?
No. There are no recurring fees for either hardware or software. Calibration costs are also eliminated, as calibration functionality is integrated into the ForceBoard user interface.
Q5: How well will a ForceBoard integrate into our existing workflows and data systems?
All ForceBoard systems are designed for ease of use and require minimal training. Data is recorded in a standard CSV format, making it readily accessible in applications such as Excel and MATLAB, with results organized in a clear, column-based structure. Additionally, ForceBoard's neutral CSV data can be copied directly into AI platforms such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other large language models for rapid, automated analysis and interpretation. Few other measurement systems on the market allow this since their data is stored in proprietary databases.
Also, tests can be started and run automatically, with the system handling stopping and saving the data file. You can also add multiple measurements to the same file and include comments (from within the user interface) for each test without overwriting previous data, making the workflow fast and very efficient.
Q6: Is ForceBoard data AI chat agent / LLM compatible?
Yes, ForceBoard records every measurement in a standard CSV format with labelled columns, enabling seamless analysis with scientific software and next-generation AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and others. Simply paste, or upload your ForceBoard data to accelerate interpretation and reporting.
