Engineering Integration Levels
Edelweis provides two distinct engagement models designed to align with your project’s scale, technical complexity, and regulatory requirements. Both tiers utilize our core System Capabilities, but differ in integration depth and validation rigor.
1. Professional Tier (The Growth Engine)
Optimized for startups, specialized hardware firms, and mid-scale manufacturing projects.
The Pro Tier is designed for agile development where speed-to-market and high-fidelity modeling are the primary objectives. It provides a dedicated engineering stream to execute complex mechanical designs with standard validation protocols.
- Scope: Full Parametric CAD Development and Static Structural Validation.
- Validation: Standard FEA (Static) and basic DFM (Design for Manufacturing) reporting.
- Collaboration: Bi-weekly technical reviews via the Edelweis Sync Dashboard.
- Data Governance: Standard AES-256 encrypted file transfer and 90-day revision history.
- Support: Standard email and scheduled video consultation within 24-hour response windows.
2. Enterprise Tier (The Critical Partner)
Optimized for aerospace, automotive, medical, and large-scale industrial infrastructure.
The Enterprise Tier is a deep-tech integration. It is designed for projects where failure is not an option and regulatory compliance is mandatory. This tier provides a dedicated "Shadow Engineering Team" that operates within your corporate protocols and PDM ecosystems.
- Scope: Advanced Multi-Physics Systems, Complex Kinematics, and Lifecycle Optimization.
- Validation: Advanced CAE Suite—Non-linear FEA, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Thermal Management, and Fatigue Life Prediction.
- Deep Integration: Native PDM/Vault synchronization and direct integration into your internal Slack/Teams environment for real-time iteration.
- Compliance & Security: SOC2-compliant data handling, dedicated VPN tunnels, and permanent revision traceability.
- Support: Priority 1:1 Lead Engineer access with <4-hour response windows and on-site deployment options for critical milestones.
- Documentation: Comprehensive Technical Whitepapers, GD&T Optimization reports, and fabrication-ready Bill of Materials (BOM) with vendor-sourcing logic.

Selecting Your Tier
You are in the prototyping phase, seeking to validate a mechanical concept, or requiring high-quality CAD documentation for a standalone product.
You are managing a multi-subsystem project, require rigorous physics-based validation for safety-critical components, or need a partner that can seamlessly integrate into your corporate IT and engineering infrastructure.
