Design Partner Program

Design partners commit to actively using solidSF on real hardware projects, giving the team direct, candid feedback on the beta program, and joining a short scoping call so we can pre-configure your seats. There is no minimum spend during the partner term.

Early access, foundation pricing (the first 500 partner companies receive 34% off service, setup, and implementation fees for the first 6 months), direct support from the founding team, and a written voice in the roadmap for design, CAM, and CAE modules.

Yes. We will sign a mutual NDA before any production geometry, drawings, or proprietary process detail is shared. The default partner LOI does not require an NDA on its own; the NDA is signed once the technical scoping session begins.

Yes. The partner intake form on this page generates a solidSF-signed PDF LOI on submission. The LOI records selected scope and modeled pricing, but does not lock seats, package, or procurement; everything can be finalized later.

Most design partners go from LOI to first hands-on workspace within two weeks. Migration scoping (SolidWorks feature-tree, Onshape) and CAM/CAE module onboarding usually run on a four- to eight-week timeline after that, depending on feature scope.

We are looking for hardware teams shipping real products: startups, machine shops, robotics labs, aerospace and energy teams. You should have an active design workflow today (SolidWorks, Onshape, Fusion 360, NX, Inventor, or similar) and an engineer who can spend a few hours per week with us.
