KitFab — DDR5 Module Production Cell

A sealed, single-chassis production cell that converts a qualified kit tray into verified DDR5 RDIMM modules — short-run memory assembly with full process genealogy, without a full SMT factory.

• Stage: Seed / pilot production cells
• Raise focus: $1.0M seed (band $750K–$1.2M)
• Investor / partner fit: Deep-tech / dual-use manufacturing / EMS & lab infrastructure

The problem

Short-run, high-reliability DDR5 modules typically force research labs, defense programs, and regional EMS providers into either a full surface-mount factory or multi-week OSAT queues — with limited process control and incomplete die-to-module genealogy.

Our approach

KitFab is a bench-scale, sealed production appliance: load a qualified kit (blank RDIMM PCB, known-good packages, SPD/RCD/PMIC as required), then assemble, reflow, and verify inside one controlled chassis. Flagship SKUs target 64 GB and 128 GB DDR5 RDIMM for EPYC-class platforms. Throughput design target: on the order of 10–15 modules per hour with full quality gates.

Why this is different

• Honest physics: qualified fab PCBs and packaged DRAM — not printed interconnect or fabricated memory die
• Closed-loop quality stack: MSD interlocks, 100% SPI, dual AOI, O₂-controlled nitrogen reflow, and per-serial thermal profile logging
• Kit-locked recipes with RFID process control and full genealogy from kit to verified module
• Capital-efficient form factor: no cleanroom fab CapEx; long-lead items are vision and process tooling, not wafer infrastructure

Market & use cases

University and national-lab memory research, defense and dual-use programs needing controlled short runs, regional EMS and contract manufacturers serving specialty DDR5 demand, and education / client secondary SKUs where appropriate.

IP position

IP strategy centers on kit-lock workflows, sealed-cell process integration, genealogy and quality-gate automation, and related fixture/recipe systems. Provisional and utility conversion pathways are part of the seed use of funds — moat is integration and process library, not a claim to fabricate DRAM.

Highlights

• Seed raise to complete buildable pilot cells, first paid installations, and IP prosecution
• Hardware ASP target band approximately $85K–$120K per cell, with support and kit-tray attach revenue
• Year-3 planning case in source materials: cell fleet scale with path to EBITDA-positive operations (planning targets, not guarantees)
• Investor profile: hard-tech angels, dual-use scouts, and strategic partners in PCB, EMS, and test equipment

Capital raise

Seeking a $1.0M seed round (indicative band $750K–$1.2M) to fund engineering for additional buildable cells, inventory and tooling, go-to-market for initial pilots, legal/IP/compliance, and operating buffer. Pre-seed and non-dilutive grant pathways may run in parallel. Raise gates in planning materials include working demonstration video, provisional IP filing, letters of intent, and a clear COGS model.

Use of funds

• Engineering (approximately 45%): additional cells, firmware, and test suite
• Inventory and tooling (approximately 25%): placement, reflow, frames, and spares
• Go-to-market (approximately 15%): pilot installs, travel, collateral
• Legal, IP, and compliance (approximately 10%): entity, utility patent path, export review, insurance
• Operating buffer (approximately 5%): facility and long-lead contingency

FAQ

Do you manufacture DRAM?

No. KitFab assembles and verifies modules from blank PCBs and known-good packaged devices. We do not fabricate memory die or print high-speed interconnect.

How is this different from a pick-and-place machine?

Placement is one station. The product is an integrated sealed cell: kit UX, stencil/SPI, place, nitrogen reflow, in-line verification, and genealogy — sized for labs and short-run programs, not million-unit OSAT lines.

Who is the ideal capital or strategic partner?

Hard-tech and dual-use investors, plus strategic counterparties with access to qualified DDR5 blanks, EMS channels, or test/process equipment who can accelerate pilots.
