These days, electronics aren't just rectangles anymore. From foldable phones to curved car displays and wearable health monitors, devices need to bend and flex while keeping everything connected. That's where rigid-flex circuit boards come in - and getting them right is what we do best.
Why Mixing Rigid and Flexible Areas Matters
Think about a foldable phone - it needs sturdy sections for the screen and processor, but flexible parts that can handle constant folding. That's exactly what rigid-flex boards deliver:
Everything in One Piece: No more connecting separate boards with fragile cables
Lighter and Smaller: Save up to 40% space and 35% weight compared to old-school solutions
Built to Last: Fewer connection points means fewer things that can break
Made for Movement: Flexible areas can bend thousands of times without failing
How We Design Different Areas for Different Jobs
We treat each part of the board according to what it needs to do:
Sturdy Sections for Heavy Components
Use strong materials that can handle heat and weight
Place processors, connectors, and power components where they won't get stressed
Add extra support where needed, like under connection points
Flexible Areas for Movement
Use thin, bendable materials that still carry signals perfectly
Run circuits in the direction that handles bending best
Keep these sections as thin as possible while maintaining reliability

Making the Transition Work
Smoothly blend thick and thin areas to prevent weak spots
Use strong bonding techniques so layers don't separate
Keep components away from the bending zones
