Open-source hardware is revolutionizing the way we think about technology. Projects like Raspberry Pi, Particle, SeeedStudio, Blues, BeagleBoard, Libre Solar, and Farmbot have transformed sectors from robotics to agriculture. Yet, when compared to open-source software, hardware innovation still faces significant hurdles. The limitations often lie in fragmented tools and resources that don't fully support the unique challenges of hardware development.

That's where Flux for Organizations comes in, and we're thrilled to make it free for public and educational organizations. At Flux, we are deeply committed to the belief that open-source hardware will be the vanguard of global innovation. We're here to make it easier for teams worldwide to collaborate and build the future.

Centralized Resource Hub

Navigating through fragmented resources for reliable component libraries or design rules can be both time-consuming and frustrating. Flux offers a centralized resource hub that brings everything you need right to your fingertips. Component libraries, AI-driven design suggestions via Copilot—you name it, we’ve got it.

Collaboration That Just Works

Forget the days of email chains filled with zip files that make version control a living nightmare. Flux's built-in version control, Copilot Presets, and Project Templates are designed to make every design iteration transparent, accessible, and most importantly, collaborative. Learn more

Community Showcases

The challenge of recruiting incredible talent for open-source projects is real. That's why your organization’s Flux profile does more than just list who's on your team. Use it to highlight community contributions, showcase public projects, and even spotlight the heroes who make your community vibrant. See example

Manage Project Costs with Ease

Hardware components come with real costs, which can become prohibitive especially for community-driven projects. With Flux's real-time pricing and availability features, automated email updates on component pricing, and total project cost visibility, you’ll never be in the dark. Learn more

AI Superpowers

While large hardware firms have resources that smaller, community-driven projects can only dream of, Flux levels the playing field. Our AI assistant, Copilot, brings enterprise-level capabilities right to your desktop, allowing you to compete on a much broader scale. Learn more about Flux Copilot

Free for Public and EDU Organizations

Whether you're an open-source hardware group, a manufacturer like Aisler sharing stackup templates, or a university showcasing academic projects, we support your collaborative efforts. For those in need of more privacy and customization like Weyland Yutani Megacorp, our paid organizational accounts start at just $49 per editor. Learn more about private organizations

Get Started Today

  1. Log in or sign up for Flux.
