It asks questions, researches the approach with you, and turns the conversation into a real plan. Design Flux transforms the project plan into a working schematic, lays out components, and tests the design against engineering rules. Make Flux shows you what each part costs and how long it takes to arrive, then packages all files according to manufacturer specifications. ## Take the hard out of hardware. Flux does the engineering work that normally makes hardware hard. Flux catches issues in real time by continuously running electrical and design rule checks. It grounds its decisions in the actual parts by reading datasheets. It handles the details – sizing passives, I²C pull-ups, and decoupling caps. Flux works dynamically instead of following a rigid plan, re-evaluating work after each step and course correcting.

Flux supports professional multi-layer PCBs up to eight layers used in IoT devices, wearables, and robotics. Built to go all the way from prototype to production. [Featured projects](https://flux.seobdtools.com/p/projects) ### Can AI design a PCB? Flux is an AI hardware engineer. It designs schematics and places components. Yes. Ask Flux to route the board or the nets you name, including differential pairs, RF feeds, and power nets. Ask for changes to trace widths, layers, or matched lengths in chat. Keep control of your existing routes and routing rules, and edit the result by hand at any time. [AI PCB routing](https://flux.seobdtools.com/p/pcb-design-software/routing) ### Can I import projects from Altium, Cadence, or KiCad? Yes. Flux imports complete projects from Altium, Cadence OrCAD and Allegro, KiCad, Siemens PADS and Xpedition, Zuken CADSTAR, Eagle, Fusion Electronics, EasyEDA, DipTrace (XML export), and SOLIDWORKS PCB. Schematics, parts, connections, board outlines, and placement come across. Flux imports Labcenter Proteus SDF netlists with Specctra board exports. IPC-2581 revision B and C files become board projects with reusable footprint parts. IDF 2.0 and 3.0 board files become board projects with the outline, cutouts, drilled and mounting holes, part placements, and 3D part heights. Altium, OrCAD, PADS, KiCad, Eagle, Fusion Electronics, EasyEDA, and DipTrace part libraries, Allegro footprints, and JEP30 part models become Flux parts. Ask Flux to continue the imported design with mechanical parts, firmware, and manufacturing files. Importing projects from: - [Eagle to Flux](https://docs.flux.ai/Introduction/eagle-to-flux---migration-guide) - [Upverter to Flux](https://docs.flux.ai/Introduction/upverter-to-flux) - [KiCAD to Flux](https://docs.flux.ai/Introduction/kicad-to-flux) - [Altium to Flux](https://docs.flux.ai/Introduction/flux-to-altium-migration-doc) - [EasyEDA to Flux](https://docs.flux.ai/Introduction/easyeda-to-flux) ### Can I export for manufacturing? Yes. Flux exports Gerbers, drill files, BoM, pick-and-place, and standard netlists for fabrication and downstream tools. [Exporting projects](https://docs.flux.ai/Introduction/getting-started-in-flux-manufacturing) ### Is my data secure? Yes. Flux encrypts data in transit and at rest and runs on SOC 2-aligned cloud infrastructure with SSO and project-level permissions. Read more about [privacy statement.](https://docs.flux.ai/legal/privacy-statement) ### How capable is the AI — and what are its limits? Flux provides AI for PCB design that works alongside you. As a collaborative AI for electronics, it remains transparent: explaining changes, showing its reasoning, and checking in with you before key steps. ### How does Flux perform in the browser? Flux is built to feel like a desktop-class tool without installs: large, multi-layer designs run smoothly in a modern browser, with real-time collaboration built in. Learn how to [setup your browser](https://docs.flux.ai/Introduction/set-up-your-browser) to ensure the best possible experience. ### How much does Flux cost? Eligible individual plans include a free trial; trial length and prices depend on your current offer. New Teams subscriptions start paid. See the pricing page for current terms. Enterprise pricing is available on request. [Plans and pricing](https://flux.seobdtools.com/p/pricing) ### How do I get help if I’m stuck? You’re not alone. Our team and community are available at [help@flux.ai](mailto:help@flux.ai), with [docs](https://docs.flux.ai/), [Youtube videos](https://www.youtube.com/@buildwithflux), and fast [support](mailto:support@flux.ai) when you need it. ### How is Flux different from traditional ECAD tools? Flux is full ECAD rebuilt for the AI era: browser-based, collaborative, connected to live parts data, and guided by explainable AI. See [KiCAD vs. Flux](https://flux.seobdtools.com/p/blog/flux-vs-kicad-5-key-differences), [EasyEDA vs. Flux](https://flux.seobdtools.com/p/blog/easyeda-vs-flux) to learn about key differences.
