Quick Summary
Additional Context
San Francisco-based Flux, which develops AI software for printed circuit board (PCB) design, has introduced a feature that produces 3D printable enclosures directly from a user’s board layout. Users describe the housing they need in the Flux chat window, and the software builds a case sized to the board’s actual geometry, which can then be exported in standard 3D printing file formats. The capability is included in all Flux plans, and the company offers a two-week free trial.
The feature extends Flux’s platform from electrical into mechanical engineering, covering the path from board design to a 3D printed prototype enclosure.
Closing the Gap Between Electrical and Mechanical Design
Fitting a PCB inside a working housing has typically required either hiring a mechanical engineer or lear
