Autonomous engineering

From requirement to fab-ready design, Flux gets hard engineering work done.

Stop operating a stack of specialized CAD tools by hand. Describe the outcome you need, and Flux plans the work, designs it, checks it, and hands back results your engineers can review and edit.

Takes a requirement to a complete device

Hand Flux a requirement, not a click path. It picks the parts, designs the board, models the enclosure, and writes the firmware, then reports back.

Checks its own work in simulation

Flux runs circuit and electromagnetic simulations as part of the work, so problems show up on screen instead of on the bench.

Validates every change

Design rules, electrical checks, and review comments run continuously. Your engineers approve the result instead of hunting for mistakes.

Keeps every design ready to order

Live part pricing and availability, manufacturer-specific rules, and fab-ready outputs keep every design ready to order.

Its own engineering computer

Every AI engineer works on its own cloud computer, with a desktop and a browser. It runs engineering tools, reads PDFs and spreadsheets, and writes its own scripts to check its work.

Product videos

Makes videos of the product it designed, for design reviews, customer updates, and launch pages.

One platform

Designs the board, the enclosure, and the firmware.

Flux is not a collection of disconnected CAD applications. It is one AI-native engineering platform where every discipline shares the same project, the same data, and the same AI engineer.

Model-agnostic AI

Your favorite AI models. Our engineering superpowers.

Flux pairs frontier AI models with a state-of-the-art agent harness built for CAD and EDA. The models bring reasoning. Flux brings the engineering tools, project context, and workflows that turn that reasoning into working hardware.

  • OpenAI
  • Anthropic
  • Google Gemini
  • More as they ship
Adaptive model selection

Frontier performance at 30% lower cost.

Adaptive splits every engineering job into tasks and gives each task to the model that does it best for the price. Hard design decisions go to frontier models. Routine work goes to fast, low-cost models. Independent tasks run in parallel, so complete devices come together faster. Your team works with one AI engineer, and Flux handles the delegation behind the scenes.

Every frontier model, one platform

Work with the frontier models your team already trusts, inside Flux.

Engineering superpowers built in

Every model gets Flux's specialized engineering tools, project context, and workflows.

Upgrade without migrating

When a better model ships, your team gets it without switching engineering platforms.

No single-vendor lock-in

Avoid depending on any one model provider for your engineering capacity.

The right model for every step

Adaptive matches each engineering step to the model that does it best, from deep design decisions to routine checks.

Kernel-agnostic CAD

Builds every part on the right CAD kernel.

Traditional CAD tools are locked to one geometry kernel, and every part inherits its limits. Flux is kernel agnostic, the same way it is model agnostic. The AI engineer picks the right kernel for each part, switches kernels when one cannot build a feature, and brings every part together in one model.

  • OpenCascade

    Exact, standard geometry that CAM and other CAD tools read cleanly. Strong for machined parts and multi-part assemblies.

  • SMLib

    Smooth, curvature-continuous surfaces for hand-held and consumer products.

  • Parasolid On request

    The kernel inside SolidWorks, NX, Solid Edge, and Onshape, for native-quality exchange with those tools.

Curvature combs on an enclosure in the Flux 3D view
1. Shape the enclosure. NVIDIA SMLib builds the curved edges of the front enclosure. Curvature combs show how each curve bends, so you see where the surface flows and where it breaks.

2. Check the board inside. Flux cuts the same enclosure in half. You see the board, the displays and the knob inside, and you check each clearance before you print.

Surface quality you can see. Zebra stripes, curvature maps, and curvature combs show that every surface is smooth before the part goes to tooling.

Verification lab

Simulates and checks its own work before you build.

Flux doesn't stop at generating designs. The AI engineer simulates and checks its own work with professional-grade solvers, and it shows you the results.

Circuit simulation

SPICE simulation of analog, power, and mixed-signal circuits, run and read by the AI engineer.

Electromagnetic simulation

Full-wave simulation of the routed board: impedance, S-parameters, crosstalk, and antennas.

Thermal simulation

Heat and airflow simulation of boards and enclosures before you build them.

Fluid simulation

Airflow and cooling through the enclosure, so vents, fans, and heat sinks work before the first prototype.

Mechanical simulation

Finite-element stress analysis of brackets, enclosures, and mounts.

Design rule checks

Electrical and manufacturing rule checks on every schematic and board.

Datasheet checks

Reads the datasheet of every part and checks the design against its pinouts, ratings, and limits.

Orchestration

One request. A whole team of AI engineers.

Hand Flux a complete product. The lead AI engineer splits it into workstreams, starts parallel threads across projects, manages them, and reports back.

Parallel threads

Each workstream runs in its own agent thread. The main board, the daughterboards, and the enclosure come together at the same time.

Across projects

The lead engineer starts work in other projects and tracks it all from one place.

Managed for you

It monitors every thread, steers work that goes off the brief, and collects the results.

You stay in control

Changes that move an interface or resize a board wait for your approval.

Example

A product with three daughterboards

Flux writes a brief for each board with its outline, mounting holes, connectors, and the enclosure openings they line up with. Each board gets its own project and its own AI engineer, and all three are designed in parallel. Flux then places the finished boards in the main assembly and measures clearances and connector alignment in millimeters.

Collaboration

Your team, your partners, and your AI engineers in one live project.

Flux runs in the browser. Everyone opens the same project, sees the same live design, and works on it at the same time. No files to send back and forth.

  • Edit together in real time.

    Engineers, reviewers, and AI engineers work in the same project at the same time. You see who is in the project and what they have selected.

  • Every change is saved.

    Flux records each change, who made it, and when. Open any earlier version, or restore it as a new project.

  • One shared space for your organization.

    Your organization's projects, parts, and design standards live in one place. Give the whole organization view, comment, or edit access.

  • Work with suppliers, clients, and contractors.

    Invite anyone to one project by email, with view, comment, or edit access. They get that project, not the rest of your organization.

  • Review where the design is.

    Comment in the project and @mention a teammate. The discussion stays with the design.

  • Try ideas without risk.

    Fork a project to test an idea. The main design does not change.

Customizable

Learns your team's rules and follows them on every project.

Every team builds hardware its own way. Teach Flux your standards, connect it to your tools, and let it build the small apps each project needs.

Team knowledge

Onboard Flux like a new engineer. Write your design guidelines, preferred parts, and lessons learned once, and every AI engineer in your organization applies them on every project.

Your rules

Define your layout rules and manufacturer capabilities once. Flux checks every design against them, every time.

Your tools, connected

Connect any MCP server, or give Flux a key to any web API. Push firmware to your repository, read crash reports from devices in the field, or use the tools your team built itself.

Keys stay secret

Admins add API keys once for the whole organization. The AI engineer uses them but never sees them. Flux adds each key only to requests sent to the services you allow.

Interactive pages

Ask for a one-off tool, and Flux builds it as a live page in the project: a power budget that recalculates when you change a load, a bring-up checklist that tracks progress, or a 3D assembly you can turn and take apart.

Flux in your AI tools

Use Flux from Cursor or any general AI agent that supports its tools. Your agents can read and edit Flux projects and hand design jobs to the Flux AI engineer.

Manufacturing

Gets quotes from your fabricators as the design changes.

Flux gets quotes directly from the fabricators for circuit boards and assembly, 3D printing in plastic and metal, CNC machining, sheet metal, laser cutting, injection molding, and casting. The AI engineer compares price and lead time, checks the design against each fabricator's rules, and keeps the quote current as the design changes.
