Problem
Early-stage hardware companies often face lengthy PCB design cycles, unpredictable component sourcing, and fragmented manufacturing handoffs. Traditional board houses charge hourly rates, leading to scope creep and delayed time‑to‑market for startups that need rapid iteration.
Solution
Solderable delivers a fully managed hardware development pipeline that moves a design from schematic to fab order in under a minute. Proprietary forks of industry‑standard EDA tools automate constraint validation, DRC, and DFM checks against more than 200 design rules, eliminating manual re‑work. Direct API integrations with partnered fabricators validate files, generate quotes, and queue production without email exchanges. All services are offered under a single fixed price, aligning incentives toward speed rather than billable hours. The result is a predictable cost structure and a dramatically shortened revision loop for electronic product teams.
Target Audience
The primary customers are hardware startups, IoT device developers, and small‑to‑mid‑size electronics firms that need fast, reliable PCB design and production without managing multiple vendors.
Features
- Custom‑forked EDA suite with parallel validation of 200+ design rules, providing instant DRC and manufacturability feedback
- Automated generation of Gerber, IPC‑2581, and assembly files ready for immediate fab submission
- Real‑time API bridge to multiple fabrication partners that returns pricing and queues production in <60 seconds>
- Integrated component search engine that pulls live datasheet metadata and availability across major distributors
- MCP Server plug‑in for seamless incorporation of Solderable tooling into a company’s existing CI/CD workflow
- Fixed‑price quoting model that covers schematic capture, layout, component sourcing, and manufacturing, removing hourly billing and scope‑creep risk
- Expert design review service (SI/PI, DFM) delivered automatically on uploaded files, with actionable remediation reports
