Objective: Research methods to jigging a car. Potential resources including other Formula SAE teams and things I can find on YT.

Jigging is the process of creating structural supports to ensure the manufactured chassis is properly aligned and straight. A good jig ensures the chassis is built as accurately as possible to the CAD model.

The jig table is the structure where the MSXVI jig will be built upon. The model for ours can be found in https://pdm.getbild.com/184dd2a4-dcb4-4047-ac71-7f80048d84c7/branch/main?tab=project_files&dir=1ce68247-9958-4168-8bdf-ba2f22b3dc6a .
