Four years ago, we embarked on a mission to take the hard out of hardware. Our goal? To empower everyone to turn their ideas into reality.

Today, we're thrilled to unveil a video that tells the story of that vision and the exciting future we're building together. We interviewed real Flux users — real professional Electrical Engineers — to showcase the power of Flux and Copilot. The reactions we got were priceless. You can practically see the lightbulbs clicking on in their heads.

We’d like to thank our community for sharing their amazing stories and joining us on this journey to take the hard out of hardware!

Onward and Upward 🚀,
Matthias & Lance

Go 10x faster from idea to PCB

Work with Flux like an engineering intern—automating the grunt work, learning your standards, explaining its decisions, and checking in for feedback at key moments.
