Printed circuit boards can be square, round, octagonal, or whatever shape you desire. But there’s little choice when it comes to the third dimension: most PCBs are flat and rigid. Sure, you can make ...

Back in March, the call went out: take your wiggliest, floppiest, most dimensionally compliant idea, and show us how it would be better if only you could design it around a flexible PCB. We weren’t ...

It’s getting harder to fit everything in the box; it’s also getting more costly. One solution promising to help designers meet the size constraint head on is rigid-flex PCB technology, but most design ...

This white paper is designed to guide you through the intricacies of rigid-flex printed circuit board (PCB) design. In today’s electronics industry, there has never been more demand for compact, ...

Flexible PCBs have transformed multiple industries, particularly the medical space in terms of formfitting biometric and monitoring patches. What’s the technology behind these increasingly important ...

Building electronics in unconventional form factors with high packaging density is possible thanks to three-dimensional circuit designs using flex and rigid-flex printed circuit boards (PCBs).

Senior Technology Editor Bill Wong talks with Elecrow’s Jarvan Hu about the development and manufacturing side of flexible PCBs, and the role his company plays in such efforts. Printed-circuit-board ...

Orbotech, a KLA company, has announced two new roll-to-roll (R2R) manufacturing solutions for flexible printed circuit (FPCs), enabling the design and mass production of new generations of electronic ...

There are many powerful and easy-to-use electronic design automation (EDA) software packages available for PCB designers today. Here's a closer look at some. There are many powerful and easy-to-use ...
