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 ...

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 ...

Rigid-Flex can have many benefits, and many designers are at least considering it today who previously did not have to. More PCB designers are facing higher pressures to build ever more densely ...

What are single- and double-sided PCBs and how do they differ? What are the advantages of symmetrical and thin layer structures? How materials influence PCB selection. The choice of PCB design is an ...

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).

In the last blog on rigid-flex PCBs, I talked about the fabrication processes typically used by board houses. It’s important to understand the steps required to build up a rigid-flex or flex circuit ...

Press release and images are available here: http://www.altium.com/en/altium/press-center/press-releases/altium-delivers-new-altium-designer-14. The new Altium ...

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, ...

Rigid-Flex PCBs have been used in many modern electronic devices (such as mobile phones, laptops, and wearables, among others), due to their form factor, light weight, and cost-effectiveness.
