One clean SMT job.
On any machine.

Import your CAD placement from any major tool, normalize every rotation, and export a ready-to-run job for whatever machine is on your bench — instead of rebuilding the setup, board after board.

the part nobody enjoys

Every board, the same setup grind.

“Charmhigh's importer is a mess — there's no real documentation for the file format.”

— the CHMT manual, unwritten

“Neoden setup takes forever. You basically start every job from scratch.”

— a very long forum thread

“Getting the part rotations right for the machine is half the job.”

— everyone who's ever run a reel

who's behind it

Built by an engineer who designed and built his own pick-and-place machine — so it speaks feeders, nozzles, and fiducials, not just files.
