Good question! For starters, the annual cost of a full-time senior-level engineer now exceeds $125,000, plus benefits (and good luck finding one available). Aside from that, you may not always have enough work to keep them busy at all times, so you're stuck paying for time you aren't able to utilize. With the monthly plan, you can pause and resume your subscription as often as you need to ensure you're only paying your engineer when you have work available for them.
Within 24 hours of subscribing, you're able to add as many design requests to your queue as you'd like, and they will be delivered one by one.
On average, most custom board designs take about 6-8 weeks for schematic and layout. Getting your circuit board manufactured can take from 1 to 8 weeks depending on how much you want to pay and if you have the components on hand. However, more complex designs can take longer.
You might be surprised to hear this, but Edge Scientific is actually an agency of one. This means you'll work directly with me, the founder of Edge Scientific.
We understand you may not have enough design work to fill up an entire month. Perhaps you only have one or two design requests at the moment. That's where pausing your subscription comes in handy.Billing cycles are based on a 31 day period. Let's say you sign up and use the service for 21 days, and then decide to pause your subscription. This means that the billing cycle will be paused and you'll have 10 days of service remaining to be used anytime in the future.
Altium Designer is used for electrical design. Solidworks is used for mechanical design.
Edge Scientific offers a ton of flexibility in how you request designs using Trello. Some common ways clients request designs is directly via Trello, sharing Google docs, images of sketches, or even recording a brief Loom video (for those who prefer not to write their briefs out). Basically, if it can be linked to or shared in Trello, it's fair game.
No worries! We'll continue to revise the design until you're 100% satisfied.

That's fine. You can pause your subscription when finished and return when you have additional design needs. There's no need to let the remainder of your subscription go to waste.
Due to the high quality nature of the work, there will be no refunds issued.
