is this just for design or can I order the parts too?

Flux will make sure to use components/vendors/distributors that are to your liking but right now you will still have to order them yourself

We are planning to directly integrate with fabs to place order/get quotes in the near future though

Cofounder here with a few more details

The updated Flux can now plan and execute multi-step PCB design workflows: things like researching parts, wiring schematics, placing and routing components, and checking its own work — all inside a browser-based eCAD that's fully editable.

It’s still very much at the intern stage: capable, but it needs clear direction and human oversight to get good results. Think of it like Devin, Cursor, or Replit — but for PCB design.

There’s a 2-week free trial if you want to try it. We have a Slack community we're jamming in for feedback - just let me know if you'd like to join!
