What is Flux?

Flux is online PCB design software for hardware startups, electronics engineers, and product teams. Teams can develop schematics, lay out printed circuit boards, run simulations, and check design rules in a web browser, without installing a desktop EDA application. The AI assistant supports component research, schematic generation from a plain-language circuit description, component placement, trace routing, and design review. Engineers remain responsible for setting constraints and approving the final design. Flux supports simultaneous editing, project comments, and access permissions for collaborative hardware development. Teams can reuse community designs and parts, check live component prices and availability, and prepare manufacturing outputs including Gerber, BOM, and pick-and-place files. For migration, Flux imports Altium ASCII and Cadence EDIF schematic files, plus KiCad component libraries. PCB layouts are not included in these imports. Trial access includes a limited AI allowance. After the trial, editing or exporting private projects and using AI require a paid subscription. AI usage is metered in Agent Compute Units (ACUs), with included allowances varying by plan. Public-project and community access remain available.

What is DesignSpark PCB?

We are excited to present our free DesignSpark PCB, a tool aimed at expanding your design capabilities and encouraging innovative breakthroughs. This remarkable software operates on a powerful engine that simplifies the process of creating schematics as well as designing PCB layouts and boards. With numerous free design tools and resources available, you can effortlessly transition your most ingenious ideas into production. Whether you're looking for a design-specific tool, a wealth of technical resources, or a holistic design ecosystem, our extensive suite integrates smoothly into your current workflow. Enjoy the liberty to develop your schematics without any limitations on size or the number of sheets, enabling maximum creative expression. You can also take advantage of an unrestricted number of layers in your next PCB project, with no limits imposed on nodes, pads, or connections. The sole restriction is that your PCB must fit within dimensions of 1m by 1m, giving you sufficient room to realize your visions. This flexibility empowers designers to transcend traditional limits and investigate new avenues of creativity, inspiring a culture of innovation. Ultimately, DesignSpark PCB serves as a catalyst for turning imaginative concepts into tangible realities.
