Firmware

FLUX Inc • 2024

Overview
The firmware UI of FLUX laser cutters, BeamOS, hasn't been updated in 3 years, resulting in outdated visuals and unresolved issues. To address this, I redesigned the firmware, updating the design system with new layouts, buttons, text, modals, blank and load states and more.

This scalable overhaul aims to improve usability, accessibility, and provide a smoother touchscreen experience for current and future laser cutters.
