“We got ourselves a Pixel Pump to work on some personal projects and we were really impressed after assembling the first few PCBs with it. Especially the combination with the SMD Magazines has been a game-changer and made assembling a whole batch of PCBs by hand a breeze.”
“I'm a big fan of the project, and have been following its progress since it was first announced. The Pixel Pump was one of the first commercial products to adopt our RP2040 microcontroller. It's exciting to see our silicon in the wild, enabling OEMs to rapidly develop this sort of creative product.”

Pixel Pump & SMD Magazines
The optimal solution for storing, organizing and consuming SMD parts paired with a powerful, compact and quiet vacuum pump leads to unseen productivity and fun.
Manual Desktop Pick & Place Machine
The Pixel Pump
The Pixel Pump is an open-source, compact, quiet and powerful vacuum pump specifically designed for efficient hand assembly. Together with the SMD Magazines it forms a unique system enabling unprecedented productivity and fun. The Pixel Pump is the perfect tool for rapid prototyping and small batch production.
- Quiet and Powerful.
- Hands free.
- Thoughtful.
Time is Money
Unlock Your Efficiency
Switch between projects quickly and assemble entire batches in no time. Its a cost effective solution allowing you to scale into your business until you really need an automated machine.
- Rapidly Switch Between Projects
SMD Magazines mounted on rails allow switching between projects in seconds. This is especially helpful if you have a lot of different projects or prototypes.
- Easy & Quick Magazine Refill
The SMD Magazine Loader can be utilized to refill a magazine in seconds leaving you with almost zero downtime.
- Replaces an Automated Machine
The Pixel Pump bridges the gap between using tweezers for hand assembly and having a full blown PnP. It is the perfect tool for small batch or diverse production.
“Our neurotechnogy lab has been using two Pixel Pumps, and we couldn't be happier. Our team creates prototypes and assembles small batches multiple times a week using the Pixel Pump and SMD Magazines. This setup has effectively replaced our automated pick and place machine due to the much quicker setup time.”
Next Level Component Storage
SMD Component Magazines
The injection moulded SMD Magazines are a great way to store, organize and consume your components. They can be stored on a shelf, in a drawer or a box allowing you to find them quickly. An ever growing collection of components enables rapid switching between projects and gives a clear overview of your stock on hand.
- Flexible.
- Always ready.
- Single Handed Use.
