Rigid-Flex PCB Manufacturing
Coordinate rigid regions, flex connections, and product fit.
Combine rigid board areas and flexible interconnections in one fabrication package. Review electrical connectivity and the final three-dimensional arrangement before releasing the manufacturing data.

Engineering focus
Make the Manufacturing Scope Clear
01
Region Definition
Clearly label each rigid and flexible region and its layer construction. A single board outline does not define the stackup changes or transitions between regions.
02
Product Assembly
Show how the rigid regions sit in the product and how the connecting flex is routed. Coordinate mounting, connector access, component height, and the installation sequence.
03
Transition Review
Identify bends, transition boundaries, local supports, and critical copper features. Confirm how the manufacturing documentation communicates these features before production.

What to Define Before Release
| Requirement | What to Define |
|---|---|
| Rigid/flex construction | Substack definitions and the connection between board regions. |
| Mechanical assembly | Installed positions, bend locations, and mounting interfaces. |
| Verification needs | Critical outline dimensions, connectivity, and inspection requirements. |

Project questions
Rigid-Flex PCB Manufacturing FAQ
Is a rigid-flex board just a flexible cable between two boards?
A rigid-flex fabrication package describes one integrated construction. Its regions and layer connections must be defined together.
Can the enclosure be reviewed at the same time?
Yes. Share the enclosure and mounting information so the board positions, bends, and connector access can be coordinated.
