We even raised $187K on Indiegogo. Flux made it possible." ### PhD researcher in CTS Nabhan Fakrudin "Next-Generation EDA; Absolutely phenomenal support and design experience. Added value with the post-design reviews before manufacturing" ### Founder at Controller Adapter Robert Dale Smith "Tools like Flux are going to just continue to breakdown barriers and make it even easier for anyone to start creating hardware." ### Frequently Asked Questions #### What kinds of boards can I design in Flux? ![](https://www.flux.ai/p/assets/other-pages/landing/65abc488bde0d3879d79fd15_arrow-drop-down.svg) Flux supports professional multi-layer PCBs up to eight layers used in IoT devices, wearables, and robotics.
