Tool Information

Flux simplifies the process of creating Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), making it easier for hardware engineers to stay organized and efficient.

With Flux, hardware engineers can say goodbye to a lot of the tedious work that usually comes with building PCBs. This tool not only streamlines the process but also keeps teams connected and in sync while they work.

One of the standout features of Flux is its AI tool, Copilot. This helpful assistant speeds up PCB creation by helping brainstorm ideas, making connections in your schematic design, and answering specific questions about various components. It's like having a knowledgeable partner right there in your design process!

Flux goes beyond just brainwork; it also speeds up the design with tools to minimize repetitive tasks. For example, it offers parametric design options for quick layout changes, automated impedance control for easy calculations, and real-time pricing and availability information from major distributors like Digi-Key, Mouser, and LCSC. This means you can make informed decisions on components without a hassle.

Starting new projects is a breeze with Flux’s extensive library filled with reusable components, projects, and templates. There’s no need to reinvent the wheel every time you begin a new project—just grab what you need from the library. Plus, because it's cloud-based, you won’t have to deal with complicated syncs or updates.

Collaboration is also made simple with Flux. It provides a user-friendly platform for design reviews that works much like Google Docs. You can easily grant permissions, gather feedback, and engage in comments, enabling your team to work together effectively, even if they're not in the same location. And the best part? You can use it on any browser or mobile device, with no downloads required.

Additionally, Flux includes reusable blocks, integrated simulators, and scripting tools to support engineers from brainstorming all the way through to building prototypes. It allows you to choose specific parts at a later stage, which helps you bypass complications early in the design process.

In summary, Flux is an all-in-one, AI-powered solution that makes managing PCB manufacturing a whole lot easier, covering everything from design and review to component selection and management.
