How To Use Modern Rigid-Flex Substrates

We live in a three dimensional world, so let's take advantage of it! Flex and rigid-flex boards allow us to break away from the x-y plane and design upwards and around unique objects, and enclosures. When designing these types of boards there’s a lot to consider from materials, routing techniques, polygon patterns, and more.

With the market for wearables is forecasted to grow to be $150 billion by 2026. Most of these devices are simply impossible to design without rigid-flex technology. This means that PCB designers need to become experts in designing, testing, and manufacturing in a wearable and “foldable” world.

Join us this month where we’ll go over:

  • Creating flexible regions on your board
  • Basic thoughts regarding your Material Choice
  • Routing Tips
  • Polygon placement
  • Contour Routing
Rigid flex

    Flex와 rigid-flex 기판을 사용하면 x-y 평면에서 벗어나 독특한 물체에 결합하거나 다양한 모양에 맞춰 설계할 수 있습니다. 이러한 유형의 기판을 설계할 때에는 재료, 배선 기술, 폴리곤(카파) 패턴 등을 고려해야 합니다.
