Solder Copilot Software
Solder Copilot Selective Wave Soldering
Cut iterations upto 80% with our digital twin-based approach.
Our Solution – CAD-CAM by digital twin simulation
Joint-level solder time calculation and auto-generation of machine-ready programs.
Our Solder Copilot is the digital twin of the THT process. It highlights risk joints and suggests actionable solder dwell time for your solder temperature, nozzle size and preheat temperature.
How the Digital Twin Works
- 1. Inputs — Gerbers (incl. drills), stack-up & copper weights
- 2. Digital Twin analysis — simulate process szenarios; flag risk joints; compute robust parameter windows
- 3. Export solder program
Actionable soldering programs optimized on joint-level:
- Improve competitiveness
- Reduce waste of material
- Reduce human expert efford
- Free mchine availability

When is Digital twin THT process optimization beneficial to you?
- Thick PCBs (> 1.6 mm) with many copper layers (> 4 layers)
- Heavy copper (> 35 µm)
- High-power components (electrolytic capacitors, shunts, transformers)
- Use of solder pallets (masks) for wave and selective-wave soldering on densely populated assemblies
FAQ
There are several triggers of potential solderability risks. More specifically, if any of the below criteria match your project, you may want to consider the THT solderability risk assessment:
- Thick PCBs (> 1.6 mm) with many copper layers (> 4 layers)
- Heavy copper (> 35 µm)
- High-power components (electrolytic capacitors, shunts, transformers)
- Use of solder pallets (masks) for wave and selective wave soldering on densely populated assemblies
The earlier in a product development process are known, the cheaper is the adjustment and the less
Depending on the project complexity, typically around 5 days.
Rules ≠ physics. Copilot models heat/time per joint and exports machine-ready programs.
