Flux is an AI hardware engineer. Get manufacturing-ready files, compare quotes, and place orders from your project chat.
Get PCB quotes
Tell Flux the quantity and whether you need bare boards or assembly.
Flux compares PCB fabrication quotes from JLCPCB, PCBWay, OSH Park, and Aisler. JLCPCB and PCBWay also provide assembly quotes. Flux uses project files or the Gerber, BOM, and pick-and-place links you provide. It reads board specifications from the layout. You can change the quantity, layer count, thickness, color, and finish.
Quote detail | What Flux compares |
|---|---|
Fabrication | Board fabrication cost for the selected quantity |
Assembly | Assembly cost for the selected quantity |
Shipping | Shipping options and cost |
Build time | Manufacturer build time |
Transit time | Shipping time |
The quote includes delivered-cost details for the selected options.
Order boards from JLCPCB
Tell Flux which JLCPCB quote and shipping option to order.
When Flux needs your JLCPCB account, it asks you to sign in in the chat. Flux refreshes the quote and asks you to confirm the quote and shipping option. It then asks for the shipping address. After you confirm, Flux places the order and returns the order number, tracking link, and estimated delivery.
For PCBWay, OSH Park, and Aisler quotes, Flux gives you the quote details and an upload link for the manufacturer site.
Get quotes for 3D prints and CNC parts
Tell Flux which part, process, material, and quantity to quote.
Flux compares price, material, and lead time for mechanical parts. You can request 3D printing, CNC machining, sheet metal, and laser cutting quotes. Quote providers include Craftcloud, JLC 3D printing, PCBWay 3D printing, SendCutSend, and OSH Cut. See Make mechanical parts for preparation and file formats.
Craftcloud offers 3D printing and CNC machining from many shops. SendCutSend offers flat parts from DXF, DWG, AI, EPS, or STEP files, including sheet metal, laser cutting, and CNC routing. OSH Cut offers sheet metal and laser cutting from DXF, DWG, SVG, or STEP files.
Open Chat in your project and enter the request with the part, process, material, and quantity.
Ask Flux to get a quote for the mechanical part.
State the process and material, such as 3D printing in PA12 nylon or CNC machining in aluminum 6061.
Review the process, material, price, shipping, and lead time for each offer.
Compare the options for the part and product requirements.
Save your Craftcloud login to get your own prices. Ask Flux for a new quote when you change the model, material, or process so the quote matches the design.
Order 3D prints and CNC parts from Craftcloud
Tell Flux which Craftcloud offer to order.
Flux shows the offer and asks you to confirm it. After you confirm, Flux places the order and reports the order ID.
