Schematic capture, multi-layer PCB layout, constraint-driven routing, simulation, DRC, and Gerber / ODB++ output, in one browser-based EDA tool. Now with an AI hardware engineer alongside you.
Partnered with your favorite manufacturers
Flux runs as an AI hardware engineer alongside you. It handles the repetitive work, learns your house rules, explains its reasoning, and pauses for review at the decisions that matter.
Describe the board. Flux drafts the architecture, BoM, and stack-up, and waits for your sign-off before any EDA work begins.
Flux drafts the schematic in your EDA library style, auto-generates missing symbols and footprints, and runs ERC as you go.
AI-assisted layout and routing inside your EDA design rules. Net classes, clearance, differential pairs, all fully editable, never a black box.
Every signoff output your fab and assembler expect: Gerber, ODB++, drill files, pick-and-place. Plus live EOL alerts on your BoM.
"Designed and manufactured the entire product in Flux, taking it from concept to production without external EE help. The device raised $187K on Indiegogo—proof of both market demand and his ability to deliver using Flux."
No more emailing schematic files around or chasing the latest version. Your whole team works on one live project. Schematic, layout, BoM, and reviews, all in sync.
Nabhan built an IoT-enabled organ-on-chip platforms for drug discovery and biological barrier modeling.
Give Flux a job and it plans, explains, and executes workflows inside a full browser-based EDA software.
START DESIGNING WITH AI
For PCB design workflows, yes. Flux is browser-based EDA software with the full workflow built in: schematic capture, multi-layer PCB layout, constraint-driven routing, DRC, simulation, signoff outputs, and BoM with live pricing. It does not handle IC / semiconductor design. That remains the domain of Cadence Virtuoso, Synopsys, and Siemens EDA.
Yes. KiCad import is on every plan. Altium and Cadence OrCAD/Allegro import are on Pro and above. EAGLE / Fusion 360 imports as well. Schematic, parts, and footprints import cleanly. Layout import has some caveats. See the migration docs.
Gerber X2, ODB++, IPC-2581, Excellon drill, IPC-356A netlist, BoM CSV, pick-and-place, STEP for mechanical handoff, DXF, and schematic / assembly PDFs. Every output is generated from a single source of truth.
Projects are private by default and encrypted in transit and at rest. SOC 2 Type II. Enterprise gets hidden workspaces, SSO, audit logs, and annual third-party security reviews. We never train AI on your private projects.
Different scope. Cadence and Synopsys have built impressive AI features on top of mature, IC-focused stacks. Flux was designed AI-first as PCB EDA software. Every step (review, layout, routing, research) has AI in the loop by default, and every action is reviewable and reversible.
Yes. Browser-native. Works on Mac, Linux, Chromebook, and Windows. Anywhere a modern browser runs. No emulation, no Windows partition, no Parallels. The first modern EDA software that doesn't lock your team to one operating system.
In-app chat with real engineers, documentation, YouTube tutorials, and a Slack community. Common issues like DRC violations and import problems are well-documented.
Automated DRC runs continuously, catching overlapping copper, floating traces, and ground fill issues. Click any violation to jump to it. AI Review adds a second layer before export.
Yes. Flux supports real-time collaboration with multiple engineers on the same schematic and layout simultaneously. Changes sync instantly, and version history tracks every edit.
