Pilot program — founding partners open

The entire mechanical engineering lifecycle.
One traceable thread.

Design, simulation, failure analysis, test data, manufacturing and quality live in disconnected tools. ME.ai links every artifact — from requirement to quality record — into one verified, auditable thread.

✓ You're on the list. We'll reach out about the pilot program.

// FOR OEMs · HARDWARE STARTUPS · ENGINEERING FIRMS — NO SPAM, EVER

// 01 — The problem

Your product's story is scattered across a dozen tools that don't talk.

CAD in one silo, FEA in another, test data on a shared drive, DFMEA in a spreadsheet, 8D reports in email. When something fails, reconstructing why takes weeks — if it's possible at all.

FAILURE MODE 01

Broken handoffs

Design intent dies between departments. The simulation team analyzes rev C while manufacturing tools up rev D.

FAILURE MODE 02

Unverifiable numbers

A safety factor in a report with no visible formula, assumptions, or validity range. Nobody can audit it — so everybody re-derives it.

FAILURE MODE 03

Test data that goes nowhere

DAQ output sits in folders, never systematically compared against the simulation that predicted it. The loop never closes.

// 02 — The platform

Seven lifecycle modules. One spine.

Every module is independent — adopt one, or all seven. Each writes to the same traceability spine, so your engineering record assembles itself as you work.

MODULE 01CORE

Technical Documentation

End-to-end docs generated from the work itself — specs, calc reports, drawings packages. Every number in every document links back to its source formula and inputs.

CALC REPORTSSPEC SHEETSAUTO-CITE
MODULE 02CORE

Machine Design & CAD

Parametric design with intricate detail control — STEP/IGES in and out, versioned geometry, and design decisions recorded as first-class artifacts, not tribal knowledge.

STEP / IGESPARAMETRICVERSIONED
MODULE 03

Simulation

FEA, CFD, vibration, acoustics and coupled physics — run as managed jobs, with every result tied to the exact geometry and load case it came from.

FEACFDMODALCOUPLED
MODULE 04

Failure Analysis

DFMEA, FTA and root-cause work seeded from your own design and simulation history — not a blank spreadsheet.

DFMEAFTARPN
MODULE 05

Test & DAQ

Sensor and DAQ integration with experimental setup plans and clean rig diagrams. Measured data streams in and lands next to the prediction it tests.

SENSORSDAQRIG PLANS
MODULE 06

Manufacturing

CAM and CIM-aware handoff: manufacturable intent, process notes and tolerances flow to production with full context attached.

CAMCIMDFM
MODULE 07CLOSES THE LOOP

Quality

8D, Lean Six Sigma and QAP workflows wired to live sensor checks — every quality record traces back through manufacturing, test, simulation and design to the original requirement.

// 03 — The difference

The traceability spine: what siloed suites structurally can't do.

Incumbent stacks are acquisitions bolted together — their data models can't agree. ME.ai is built on one spine from day zero: every artifact is a node, every dependency a typed link, the whole graph queryable and auditable.

ONE QUERY: "show every artifact affected if REQ-042 changes" — ANSWERED IN SECONDS, NOT WEEKS

Verification-first numbers

Every calculated value carries its formula source, assumptions, and validity range — like σ_max = Mc/I · [Shigley §3-10]. Auditable by any engineer, any regulator, any time.

Closed-loop test ↔ simulation

DAQ measurements are automatically correlated against the simulations that predicted them. Model error becomes a tracked metric — your predictions get better with every test.

// 04 — How it works

Adopt one module. The spine does the rest.

STEP 01

Connect your work

Import CAD, calc sheets, test data or quality docs. ME.ai structures them into artifacts on the spine — no rip-and-replace, no big-bang migration.

STEP 02

Work with a verifier watching

Run calcs, simulations, DFMEAs and test campaigns inside modules. Every output is checked for units, validity range and cited method before it's committed.

STEP 03

Query the thread

Impact analysis, audit packages, compliance reports and end-to-end documentation — generated from the graph your work already built.

// 05 — Built for

// 06 — FAQ

Fair questions.

Is this trying to replace my CAD / FEA tools?+
No. ME.ai is the connective layer plus its own growing set of modules. Keep the solvers and CAD you trust — ME.ai makes their outputs traceable, verified and queryable. Modules are there when you want deeper integration.
Can I trust AI with engineering calculations?+
You shouldn't trust any unverified number — human or AI. That's the point: every value in ME.ai carries its formula source, assumptions and validity range, and passes an independent verification check before it's committed. Results that inform real hardware decisions always require review by a qualified engineer, and the platform says so explicitly.
What's the stage of the product?+
Early — deliberately. We're building the MVP slice with a small group of founding design partners who shape the roadmap and get preferential terms. If you join the waitlist, that's what you're signing up to hear about first.
How does DAQ / sensor integration work?+
The Test & DAQ module generates the experimental setup plan and rig diagram, then ingests measurement streams and lands them next to the simulation predictions they test. Supported hardware and protocols are being prioritized with pilot partners.
Who owns the data?+
You do, unambiguously. Tenant-isolated storage, exportable graph, and no training on your proprietary engineering data. Full policy published before pilot onboarding.
