Description

Flux is a browser-based electronic design automation (EDA) platform for designing printed circuit boards. It brings schematic capture, PCB layout, simulation, routing, and design rule checks into a shared online workspace. Its AI hardware design assistant helps turn plain-language circuit requirements into schematics, research components, place parts, route traces, and review designs. Engineers can edit the results, define design constraints, and review the board before manufacturing. Multiple users can work on the same design in real time, leave comments, and manage project permissions. Reusable community circuits and component libraries help teams start new designs, while live component pricing and availability support part selection. Flux exports Gerber, bill of materials (BOM), and pick-and-place files. It accepts Altium ASCII and Cadence EDIF schematics and KiCad component libraries. These imports do not include PCB layouts. Flux is used by electronics engineers, hardware startups, and product teams. A trial includes limited AI usage; after the trial, a paid plan is required to edit or export private projects and use AI. Public-project and community access remain available.

Description

GerbView is a specialized software application that focuses on the visualization, printing, and conversion of PCB design files, especially in the Gerber and ODB++ formats. This application provides an extensive array of features that enable users to analyze, visualize, and manipulate PCB files, thus serving as an essential resource for both PCB designers and manufacturers alike. Users can access and display a variety of file types, including Gerber (RS-274D and RS-274X), ODB++, Excellon, PDF, DXF, and HPGL/2 formats. It not only supports both RS-274D and RS-274X Gerber formats but also facilitates the conversion of older Gerber files into the more modern RS-274X extended format. Moreover, GerbView features a comparison tool that highlights the discrepancies between different design revisions, providing essential support for version control and quality assurance in the design process. Its user-friendly interface further enhances its appeal, making it accessible for users of varying experience levels in PCB design.
