Build it yourself, learn as you go, and know it's right before you order. **1,099,361**Builders **6,425,482**Projects **821,334**Components ### See how AI speeds up your workflow [![Flux AI working alongside a PCB layout and component library](https://www.flux.ai/p/assets/homepage/header/start-designing-ai-workflow.webp)](#sd-workflow-video) ## Here’s how Flux works You know what you want to build. Flux knows how to get it onto a board. It plans the design with you, explains every decision, and checks in before anything important, so you're never guessing whether it's right. ![Planning stage](https://www.flux.ai/p/assets/homepage/from-idea-to-pcb/step-1.webp) 01 ### Describe your idea Describe what you’d like to build Flux turns your idea into a plan you approve before any work starts. ![Schematic capture stage](https://www.flux.ai/p/assets/homepage/from-idea-to-pcb/step-2.webp) 02 ### Flux drafts the schematic It researches the parts, builds your BoM, and wires it up. ![PCB Layout stage](https://www.flux.ai/p/assets/homepage/from-idea-to-pcb/step-3.webp) 03 ### Flux lays out the board AI places and routes it. Nudge anything, anytime. ![Fabrication outputs stage](https://www.flux.ai/p/assets/homepage/from-idea-to-pcb/step-4.webp) 04 ### Order it, ready to manufacture Design checks and in-stock parts, so it works the first time. ## Why people choose Flux Hardware is entering a new era, led by engineers who embrace AI. Flux is the platform built for them—with automation, collaboration, and intelligence that improves with every design. Live component data Design against real stock and live pricing, with alternates ready. Your BoM is good to order, no last-minute stock-outs. Real-time collaboration Work on the same board at once, with version history and permissions. Works on any device It's just a browser tab. No installs, and it runs on Mac, Windows, Linux, and Chromebook. Transparent AI Every action is explainable and reversible. You stay in control. Smart guardrails Design-rule checks, supply-chain monitoring, and manufacturability, all automatic. Human Support Fast answers from real engineers, plus an active builder community. ## Hardware people have a lot to say about Flux. From first-time PCB designers to space engineers, founders, software developers, and manufacturing teams — these are the people actually building hardware in Flux. > I am a Senior Software Developer with more than 20y experience and I felt its time for something new. You Instagram Ad caught me and now Im fully in, my mission is to build and assemble a real working hardware product, eventually scale and sell it. **Maximilian Schmidt**CPI Technologies GmbH · MagSafe Speech Recorder > The experience with Flux is incredible, with the integration of Chat vs. Agent where you can research and discuss design before having the Agent move forward. It's like having a personal research assistant who can build your parts list and verify your design. **Brian Andrews**Senior Technical Trainer · Semiconductor industry > I got help from a few employees at flux. Especially Vasyl who made my 4 layer pcb into a 2 layer pcb and choose simpler parts for me. This would have been difficult to figure out myself. **Marcel**Software engineer · Enode > Before I found Flux, I was in perpetual prototype mode. Not being an electrical engineer, the process seemed so daunting I kept putting the task off. The Flux platform enabled me to have a production ready prototype for my business in less than 2 weeks! **Alexander Mann**CEO & Founder · Agritech ## If you can describe it, you can build it Join thousands of engineers already designing with AI.
