Zebra stripes, curvature maps, and curvature combs show surface quality in the Flux 3D view.
Fit checks in 3D.
See the boards, harness and parts inside your enclosure in the Flux 3D view.
Concepts that reach a working product.
Flux adds the board, the mechanical fit and the firmware to your concept.
Your design intent stays.
Flux fits the electronics inside your surfaces. You approve every change to the form.
Working prototypes for clients.
Go from concept to a board you can order, with the enclosure and firmware, in one project.
Engineering without an engineering team.
One AI engineer does the schematic, the layout and the firmware. Your designers stay on the form.
Clean hand-off.
Hand off STEP files and manufacturing files to your client's engineers and factories.
End to end
A single AI engineer across the entire product.
Flux handles each development stage inside a single project. One AI engineer guides hardware from product specs to release packages. Your team reviews every step.
Product definition
Start from a written brief, a block diagram, or a written requirements document.
Schematics and component selection
Flux selects purchasable parts and generates the schematic diagrams.
PCB layout
Flux places components and routes board traces adhering to your studio guidelines and fabricator limits.
Mechanical integration and cabling
Flux models mounting points, the physical housing, and internal wiring harnesses to fit the actual circuit boards.
Embedded firmware
Flux produces and validates the embedded firmware written for the engineered board.
Verification and production packages
Flux executes simulation and rule validations on every update. It then exports Gerber, ODB++, IPC-2581, STEP, and the bill of materials.
Model-agnostic AI
Your favorite AI models. Built-in engineering power.
Flux combines frontier AI models with a state-of-the-art agent execution harness created for CAD and EDA. Models contribute raw reasoning. Flux supplies the domain toolsets, project context, and workflows to turn those ideas into working physical hardware.

All frontier models in one platform
Access the advanced models your studio relies on, directly inside Flux.
Dedicated engineering tools built in
Each model connects to Flux's specialized engineering toolsets, design context, and methods.
Adopt new models without migrating
Whenever updated models release, your designers gain access without changing design platforms.
Freedom from vendor dependence
Avoid relying on a solitary model provider to support your engineering capacity.
A targeted model for every phase
Adaptive pairs each engineering phase with the model that does it best, from deep design choices to standard checks.
Kernel-agnostic CAD
Generates each component on the proper CAD kernel.
Standard CAD tools lock your work to one geometric engine, passing its limitations to every component. Flux works across kernels just as it works across models. The AI engineer selects the right kernel per part, switches engines when a geometry fails, and unites every component into a unified model.
-
OpenCascade
Precise standard geometry that CAM and external CAD tools parse cleanly. Well suited for machined parts and multi-part assemblies.
-
SMLib
Smooth, curvature-continuous surfaces designed for handheld products and consumer products.
-
Parasolid On request
The modeling engine inside SolidWorks, NX, Solid Edge, and Onshape, for native-grade exchange across those platforms.
Visual proof of surface quality. Before the part reaches tooling, zebra stripes, curvature maps, and curvature combs confirm each surface is smooth.
Verification lab
Simulates and inspects every design before physical production.
Flux goes beyond drafting geometry and circuits. The AI engineer tests its own output using professional solvers and presents the findings to you.
Circuit simulation
The AI engineer executes and reviews SPICE analysis across analog, power, and mixed-signal circuitry.
Electromagnetic simulation
Full-wave electromagnetic evaluation on finished PCB layouts: impedance, S-parameters, crosstalk, and antennas.
Thermal simulation
Heat and airflow modeling across boards and enclosures before building physical prototypes.
Fluid simulation
Airflow analysis through the housing, confirming that vents, fans, and heat sinks perform before physical prototyping.
Mechanical simulation
Finite-element stress checks on enclosures, brackets, and mounts.
Design rule checks
Electrical and fabrication rule audits run across every schematic and circuit board.
Datasheet checks
Extracts every part's datasheet details to verify the design against its pinouts, ratings, and limits.
Orchestration
A single prompt. Multiple coordinated AI engineers.
Provide Flux with your complete product brief. The lead AI engineer separates it into distinct workstreams, starts parallel threads across projects, oversees execution, and provides progress updates.
Concurrent workstreams
Each sub-task runs in its own agent thread. The main PCB, daughterboards, and physical housing progress side by side.
Multi-project scope
The supervising engineer initiates tasks across connected projects and monitors progress from a central view.
Automated oversight
It monitors each thread, corrects work that strays from instructions, and compiles the final results.
Full human authority
Any update that shifts an interface or alters board dimensions waits for your sign-off.
Hardware design with three daughterboards
Flux defines specifications for each circuit board, detailing board outlines, mounting holes, connectors, and corresponding enclosure cutouts. An isolated project and assigned AI engineer develop each board in parallel. Flux inserts the completed boards into the master 3D model, measuring connector alignment and clearances in millimeters.
Collaboration
Your team, external partners, and AI engineers in one shared project.
Flux operates entirely inside the browser. Everyone opens the identical project, monitors the live design, and works together synchronously without sending files back and forth.
-
Simultaneous real-time editing.
Designers, stakeholders, and AI agents collaborate within a single file concurrently. Active collaborators and their current selections remain visible.
-
Complete version history recorded.
Flux records every edit, the contributor, and when it happened. Revisit any earlier iteration, or spin it off into a fresh project.
-
A unified workspace for your studio.
Consolidate your firm's hardware files, component libraries, and design rules in one place. Grant view, comment, or edit permissions across your studio.
-
Collaborate with clients, vendors, and contractors.
Add outside contributors to individual projects via email with view, comment, or edit rights. They see only that project, keeping the rest private.
-
Review designs directly in context.
Leave feedback on the live model and @mention colleagues. Feedback stays tied directly to the design.
-
Explore alternative concepts safely.
Branch a project to evaluate a new idea. The master design remains unchanged.
Customizable
Adapts to your studio standards and applies them consistently.
Every studio approaches hardware development differently. Supply your design rules to Flux, integrate your preferred software, and let it build tailored apps for each program.
Studio knowledge base
Train Flux just like a new designer. Enter your design guidelines, preferred components, and historical lessons once, and every AI engineer adheres to them on every project.
Custom design constraints
Set up your layout standards and vendor manufacturing capabilities once. Flux validates every subsequent update against those values every time.
Integrated tool ecosystem
Link any MCP server, or furnish credentials for a web API. Push code updates to your repo, inspect crash reports from devices in the field, or connect custom in-house software.
Protected credential management
Admins add API tokens once across the workspace. The AI engineer works through them without seeing them. Flux routes tokens solely to approved tools.
Dynamic internal dashboards
Request project utilities, and Flux creates them as interactive project views: real-time power budgets that update with load changes, bring-up trackers, or 3D assemblies you can turn and take apart.
Flux across external AI assistants
Control Flux via Cursor or third-party AI assistants supporting its tools. External agents can read and edit Flux files and assign engineering tasks to the Flux AI engineer.

The request, as typed in Flux
“The holder must cover a much taller power supply. Make the bent side flange 40 mm deeper. Keep the 4.4 mm hole in the flange where it is. Then cut five 5 x 30 mm vertical vent slots in the new part of the flange, 15 mm apart and centered on the flange width.”
