Cost to hire a team vs The Modern Inventor
An engineer with an 80K salary will cost you over 6-10K/Month depending on the benefits overhead and HR costs. Now multiply that for each employee! I can do the same work for less and with years of experience I can get it done faster too. Maybe you just need temporary help? No problem. You can pause your membership and I'll be ready to pick up where we left off when you are ready.** Unlike a freelancer who won't remember you or your project once you have paid.
What software do you use?
For Computer Aided Design and for some of the engineering simulations as well as animations and drawings I will usually use Fusion 360 by Autodesk. I model everything Parametrically so it is quick and easy to make most changes. You will also have access to the files and revisions for download.
For design and visual prototypes I use the Affinity suite of tools. I may also use Adobe software and occasionally AI to generate quick concepts and mood boards.
Communication is done through Google apps. We will have a shared folder to collaborate in as well as a Google Keep file where we will communicate and keep track of tasks. You can also schedule a meeting on my calendar send me an email anytime.
I also use a number of licensed software to run machines used in prototyping.
Who will I be working with?
You will be working directly with me, The Modern Inventor! This is an industrial design firm of one, which let's me keep costs lower, and eliminate overhead. With that said there may be occasions where we will need to include a third party such as a manufacturer or a metal 3d printer. You will definitely know if this is the case.
How do I submit tasks?
Upon subscription you will receive an invitation to a shared Google Drive folder. You will also receive an invitation to a Google Keep page where you can add tasks for me to do. I will then begin completing tasks in the order they are received. Please add clear and detailed instructions to each task for best results. If you are unsure about how to do this I will reach out and walk you through the process.
How do we communicate?
Most of our communication can happen via email and our shared google keeps board. This way we can work asynchronously and get more done. If you would like to meet via a video conference you can always sign up for one of my available calendar slots as well.
How much work can I do?
You can request all the tasks you want, and I will complete them as fast as I can in the order received. Most tasks only take a day or two, however, more complex task such as a CAD design for a complex assembly may take longer.
What if I'm not happy with the work?
No problem! I can do as many revisions as you like until you are happy with the work.
How do I Pause or Cancel my subscription?
Easy! Simply click Here and you will be able to mange your plan. If you just want to pause because you only need a little work done, then that's not a problem. The unused days will remain for later use!
