Pilot to paid launch

Pricing built around machine confidence.

AddWind is moving from open pilot access into a verified design-to-machine workflow. Early users get full access now, and the most useful feedback extends their free pilot period.

Commercial path

These target packages show how AddWind will move from open pilot access into supported commercial use as verification milestones are completed.

Academic / Lab

€1k-€3k / year

For education, research labs, and student projects that need credible winding setup and teaching material.

  • Lab seats and classroom examples
  • Guided learning modules
  • Export-lite workflows
  • Community support channel

Professional

€10k-€18k / year

For composite engineers who need fast pattern planning, laminate review, and production playback.

  • Planning and laminate visualization
  • Production playback and machine view
  • Project save/load when released
  • Priority product support

Machine Verified

€20k-€35k / year

For teams that need confidence that generated motion and machine assumptions match their equipment.

  • One verified machine profile
  • Postprocessor validation workflow
  • Playback and code review session
  • Onboarding for operators

Enterprise / OEM

€50k+ / year

For machine builders, multi-site programs, and organizations with private deployment needs.

  • Multiple users and sites
  • Custom machine/postprocessor work
  • Private deployment option
  • Training, SLA, and roadmap reviews

Feedback still matters

Feedback points should reward users who reduce product risk. The current proposal gives longer free access, support credit, or discounted machine-verification setup for useful participation.

+10Validated bug report with screenshot, video, or reproducible setup.
+25Machine/program issue with steps and expected behavior.
+50Complete benchmark project with mandrel, material, and target pattern.
+100Interview, case-study permission, or machine verification collaboration.

Verification milestones

  • Persistent accounts with returning-user recovery.
  • Project save/load with ownership, versions, thumbnails, and export history.
  • Restored machine program generation, including Siemens/SINUMERIK-style output where applicable.
  • Machine-profile onboarding and verification checklist for real customer equipment.
  • Support workflow tying feedback points, pilots, bug reports, and roadmap decisions together.
1

Educate

Publish filament-winding explainers and case studies through AddComposites and partner channels, then connect each article to deeper AddWind lessons.

2

Demonstrate

Use standard projects to show pattern closure, laminate thickness, transition continuity, and machine playback without requiring a sales call first.

3

Qualify

Convert serious users into pilot accounts with machine type, target part, software pain, and export needs captured during signup.

4

Verify

Move the best-fit pilots into machine verification, program-output validation, and paid Professional or Machine Verified subscriptions.
