Pre-release information

HyprFab is in design. No module has been fabricated, measured or certified, and nothing here is a product announcement. Please describe the pictures as renders of the design model, not photographs. HyprFab is the project's working name: write it as one word, and do not add ™ or ®.

Descriptions

Boilerplate.

Short, 42 words

HyprFab is a modular enclosed line for SMT prototypes from Newmatik GmbH. Paste, place and reflow are separate modules on one conveyor; a longer line adds place modules between paste and reflow. HyprFab is in design and has not been fabricated yet.

Long, 146 words

HyprFab is a modular enclosed line for surface-mount (SMT) prototypes, developed by Newmatik GmbH in Hennweiler, Germany. Paste, place and reflow are each an enclosed module, built to stand in a row. Boards move through them on one conveyor and stay inside the line from paste through reflow. A short line is paste, one place module and reflow; a longer line adds place modules between them.

HyprFab is designed as code. The mechanics are written in build123d, the electronics in KiCad 10, and every part is built, checked against the interface contract and rendered by the project's CI. The hardware is to be published under CERN-OHL-W-2.0 and the software under Apache-2.0 and MPL-2.0; these licences are proposed and not yet in force.

HyprFab is in design. No module has been fabricated yet. Newmatik GmbH assembles SMT boards in Hennweiler and builds the software around that work.

Fact sheet

Pictures of the design model.

Ray-traced in Blender from the build123d model by the project's CI. They are renders, not photographs, and module interiors are simplified. PNG with a transparent background, at the largest size reviewed so far: the line prints about 15 cm wide at 300 dpi, a module about 10 cm.
