Give it a requirement. The AI plans the project, selects parts, drafts the schematic, and routes the board. It also models the mechanical parts and creates the firmware. The system verifies its output using simulation and design rule checks. Finally, it delivers manufacturing files to your engineers. ### What KiCad is KiCad is an open-source software suite for electronic design automation. It handles schematic capture and PCB layout, with Gerber and IPC-2581 output.[\[1\]](#compare-source-1) KiCad runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS, and is licensed under the GNU GPL v3.[\[1\]](#compare-source-1) ## What KiCad does ### Free and open source KiCad is free to use, and its source code is open under the GNU GPL v3.[\[1\]](#compare-source-1) ### Interactive routing The KiCad router has push-and-shove, walkaround, and collision highlight modes, and routes differential pairs.[\[3\]](#compare-source-3) ### Built-in SPICE simulation KiCad integrates the open-source ngspice simulator into its schematic editor.[\[2\]](#compare-source-2) ## How Flux stands apart Flux selects from 734,000+ public parts using real-time pricing and availability data. It drafts the schematic, positions the parts, and routes the board like a seasoned layout specialist. The AI verifies the design against each datasheet, runs circuit and full-wave electromagnetic simulation, and provides manufacturing files. Every part lives in a unified library complete with footprints, 3D models, and datasheets, eliminating library management. Your engineers evaluate the result, modify it, and share the project via a link. ![Close-up of a red guitar pedal board in its enclosure](https://flux.seobdtools.com/p/assets/homepage-v2/compare-photo-1009080.webp) Physical boards and enclosures built with Flux.

Submit a complete product to Flux. The lead AI engineer divides it into workflows, starts parallel tasks across projects, manages their progress, and reports back. ### Parallel tasks Every workflow operates within an independent AI process. The main board, daughterboards, and enclosure develop simultaneously. ### Across projects The lead AI engineer starts work in other projects and tracks all progress from one location. ### Managed for you The AI tracks every active process, steers work that deviates from the requirement, and gathers the results. ### You stay in control Modifications that move an interface or resize a board wait for your approval. Example ### A product with three daughterboards Flux creates a requirement for every board, defining its outline, mounting holes, connectors, and corresponding enclosure openings. Each board receives an independent project and a dedicated AI engineer to complete the designs simultaneously. Flux then inserts the completed boards into the main assembly to verify clearances and connector alignment in millimeters. Verification lab ## Evaluates and verifies its output before you build. Flux goes beyond creating hardware layouts. The AI engineer simulates and evaluates its output using industrial-grade solvers, then displays the results for you. ### Circuit simulation SPICE simulation for analog, power, and mixed-signal circuits, run and analyzed by the AI engineer. ### Electromagnetic simulation Full-wave simulation of the routed board for impedance, S-parameters, crosstalk, and antennas. ### Design rule checks Electrical and manufacturing rule checks applied to all schematics and boards. ### Datasheet checks Processes the datasheet for all parts to validate the design against its pinouts, ratings, and limits. ### Thermal simulation Heat and airflow simulation for boards and enclosures before you build them. ### Fluid simulation Airflow and cooling simulation through the enclosure ensures vents, fans, and heat sinks function before the first prototype. ### Mechanical simulation Finite-element stress analysis applied to brackets, enclosures, and mounts. ![SPICE load step of a 3.3 V buck converter](https://flux.seobdtools.com/p/assets/homepage-v2/verification-lab-spice-load-step.webp) SPICE load step of a 3.3 V buck converter ![Thermal map of top and bottom copper](https://flux.seobdtools.com/p/assets/homepage-v2/verification-lab-copper-thermal.webp) Thermal map of top and bottom copper ![Stress analysis of an aluminum bracket](https://flux.seobdtools.com/p/assets/homepage-v2/verification-lab-bracket-stress.webp) Stress analysis of an aluminum bracket ![S-parameters of a USB data line, simulated on the routed board](https://flux.seobdtools.com/p/assets/homepage-v2/verification-lab-usb-line-s-parameters.webp) S-parameters of a USB data line, simulated on the routed board Sourcing ## Selects parts you can purchase today, at current prices.

Select Flux if you prefer an AI engineer to handle the design work while your engineers review the results. ## Questions ### Can I import my KiCad projects into Flux? Yes. Flux imports full KiCad projects alongside KiCad libraries. The platform transfers schematics, parts, net connections, board outlines, part placement, and routing. ### Can Flux export KiCad files? Yes. Flux generates KiCad board exports. The system also produces Gerber, ODB++, IPC-2581, IPC-D-356 test netlists, bill of materials, and pick-and-place files. ### How good is the routing? Flux positions parts and routes the board similar to a senior designer. It adheres to your design intent and your layout rules. Your engineers evaluate the completed board and can edit any trace. ### Can Flux do signal integrity, power integrity, DDR timing, and EMC review? Yes. Flux routes PCIe lanes as 85 Ω differential pairs. It plans fly-by or T-branch DDR topology, calculates a timing budget from trace lengths and the stackup's propagation delay, and routes length-matched buses to the length and skew targets. It analyzes routed traces with S-parameters, TDR, eye diagrams, and crosstalk, and reviews the board for signal integrity, power integrity, and EMC issues, such as traces that cross plane gaps. ### Does Flux check designs for manufacturing (DFM)? Yes. Flux can check the files before you order. It checks Gerber copper gaps against the fabricator's minimum spacing, silkscreen, and board outline, and renders the top and bottom layers. It runs a design rule check on the exported board file, cross-checks the BOM and pick-and-place files against the board and Gerbers, and packages the results in a report. ### Can Flux design flex and rigid-flex boards? Yes. Flux draws Stackup Areas on the board and gives each area a rigid or flex stackup, with coverlay and stiffeners. It adds bending lines with a bend angle and a bend radius, and shows the folded board in 3D and in STEP files. The AI engineer routes each net only on the layers of the areas that it crosses, and runs flex design checks, including the bend radius of each line. Flux exports Gerber, ODB++, and IPC-2581 files with one stackup for each area, and gets quotes from JLCPCB and PCBWay. ### Do I have to manage part libraries? No. Flux provides a single unified parts library containing 734,000+ public parts. Parts include symbols, footprints, 3D models, datasheets, plus real-time pricing and inventory data from distributors. Your team can upload its own parts into this central library. ### Can my team work on the same project? Yes. Your team collaborates in one active project inside the browser. You share projects via a link, and Flux maintains the version history. ### Do my engineers lose control of the design? No. Flux organizes the project, creates the design, verifies it, and delivers results that your engineers can review and edit. ### Is any software installation required? No. Flux operates entirely inside your web browser. Additional features and new AI models appear automatically, so there is nothing to upgrade. ### Can my team collaborate on the same project? Yes. Distribute a project via a link. Multiple engineers can modify it concurrently. Single sign-on and project-level permissions control who sees what. ### Does Flux train on my designs? No. Flux never trains on customer data. Your inputs and outputs are always your IP. ![](https://flux.seobdtools.com/p/assets/homepage-v2/compare-photo-1008550.webp) ## Provide your next requirement to Flux.
