Design Is the Easy Part. Flux Is Built for the Rest.
AI will soon design hardware well. The hard part is what comes after: parts, factories, fit, and tests. Flux is built for that part.
Flux Agents Work as a Team: Side Threads, Parallel Work, and Agents in Other Projects
The Flux agent starts side threads and agents in other Flux projects, runs them at the same time, and brings the results back to you.
Flux Chat: Ask, Plan, and Spec Your Device for Free
Flux Chat is free. Ask about your device, weigh electronics and mechanical trade-offs, and write the spec in your project. Then build it in Agent mode.
Flux Adaptive: Frontier Performance at 30% Lower Cost
Adaptive gives each hardware engineering task to the model that does it best for the price, and runs many tasks at the same time. Frontier performance at 30% lower cost.
Your API Keys, Used Safely: How the Flux Agent Reaches Distributors, Manufacturers, and Any Web API
Give the Flux agent your own API keys for distributor pricing, PCB and 3D-print quotes, and any web API, for example Golioth or Arena PLM. The agent sees only a placeholder.
Edit Your Existing STEP Files with the Flux Agent
Upload a STEP, IGES, or BREP file, and the Flux agent rebuilds it as editable CAD code, makes your change, and saves a new model. Your original file stays unchanged.
Smooth Surfaces with NVIDIA SMLib: Zebra Stripes, Curvature Combs, and Cross Sections in Flux
Flux builds curvature-continuous surfaces with NVIDIA SMLib. Check them in the 3D View with zebra stripes, a curvature map, curvature combs, and a cross section through the enclosure.
Interactive Pages in Flux Project Files
Ask Flux for a one-off engineering tool, and the agent builds it as an interactive page in the project's Files tab: a filter plot, converter waveforms, an eye diagram, or a 3D heat sink.
How to Adopt Flux as a Team
Moving a hardware team to Flux is a change in how engineers work: define intent, direct the AI, verify the result. Six mindset shifts and a four-week pilot plan.
Custom Hardware Enclosures by Flux: From PCB to Product in Hand
Flux now designs custom hardware enclosures directly from your PCB. Generate manufacturable, 3D-printable cases with cutouts and mounting holes that stay in sync with your board.
AI is Collapsing CAD
AI is collapsing the walls between electrical, mechanical and firmware engineering — so the whole device can now be designed in one conversation.
Seamless collaboration between you, Flux, and other AI agents
A public MCP server lets Claude, Cursor and Codex drive Flux directly — plus Chat mode, voice input, and better placement and routing.
Flux April 2026 release: upgrades that make a real difference
True 1:1 screen scaling, faster editing, Eagle and PADS import, and a streamlined path for creating your own parts.
Spring 2026 Updates: Faster AI, Better Layouts, Smarter Sourcing
Self-correcting agents, a stronger auto-layout engine, and live supply chain data now built into the design flow.
We raised $37M to take the hard out of hardware
New funding goes straight into faster agents and a stronger platform for the engineers building real hardware.
10x Faster & Self-correcting: Feb 2026 Update
A redesigned agent architecture runs work in parallel and verifies as it goes, cutting schematic design time dramatically.
Design with Real-Time Supply Chain Visibility
Live pricing and availability surface inside the editor, so sourcing problems show up during design instead of after it.
The First AI Hardware Engineer
Planning and execution now run as one autonomous multi-step workflow, with you reviewing and steering at each checkpoint.
SNES Controller Deep Dive: Ergonomics, Buttons and Features
A teardown of the input device that set the template for modern controllers — the dog-bone grip, the diamond button layout, and the shoulder buttons nobody had tried before.
8 New AI Capabilities for Faster PCB Design
Eight new Copilot shortcuts that collapse common design and analysis chores into a single prompt.
Flux for Enterprise: AI-Driven Hardware Design at Scale
An enterprise plan pairing AI design assistance with the access controls and security larger hardware teams need.
Circuit Gardens: Wallpaper Series Merges Engineering & Nature
A free set of 4K wallpapers where plants grow circuit traces — made for the wall behind your bench.
A New Home for Open-Source Hardware
Free organization accounts give open-source hardware projects a shared home with real collaboration tooling.
Introducing Flux for Organizations: A New Way to Collaborate in Hardware
Organization accounts bring shared workspaces, central controls and custom AI settings to hardware teams.
The Future of Electronics Design
Four years into taking the hard out of hardware — electrical engineers on what Flux and Copilot changed for them.
A Flux Birthday Special: A Look Back at Four Years of Flux
Four years from private beta to 100,000 engineers — the releases, the misses and the community along the way.
Improving User Interaction Performance: Introducing log-time-to-next-idle Tool
An open-source tool that measures real interaction latency by watching when the CPU actually returns to idle.
Convert your Typescript codebase to No Unchecked Indexed Access
Turning on noUncheckedIndexedAccess across a large codebase without hand-fixing thousands of call sites.
How to replicate data from the main thread to a web worker using ImmerJS
Immer patches move layout state into a Web Worker cheaply, keeping the editor responsive under load.
Flux Public Launch Announcement
Flux leaves private beta: browser-based, collaborative PCB design open to everyone.Let’s start building.
Let’s build your idea together. All you need to do is describe what you want to make, or what problem you want to solve. Flux will work with you to make it a reality.
