Rigid-flex circuit technology is chosen when a compact or moving assembly cannot rely on a rigid board alone.
Gekunflex supports rigid-flex circuit technology from prototype to volume production, covering stack-up, coverlay, and assembly notes.
Optimizing Blind Slot Multilayer Flexible PCB Manufacturing: A New Laser-Controlled Fabrication Method
Traditional mechanical milling of blind slots in multilayer flexible PCBs is hard to control. The cutter removes material by force, so it can leave burrs, smear dielectric, compress the bondply, and drift in depth as tool wear and stack tolerance add up. The problem gets worse when the slot floor must keep a thin dielectric layer over live traces.[...]
Flexible Tactile Sensor Design Using FPCB Processing for Robotic and Industrial Applications
A Flexible Tactile Sensor is a thin contact-sensing device that reads pressure, temperature, hardness and surface material at the point of touch. FPCB processing turns this design into a low-cost, short-lead-time part with high yield, which makes it practical for robotic and industrial equipment. This page follows the layered structure used in the tactile-sensing literature — mechanism, high-resolution taxel[...]

PI Protective Film Process for Rigid-Flex PCBs: Reducing Flexible-Area Cosmetic Defects
The PI protective film process for rigid-flex PCBs applies a polyimide (PI) protective film onto the cover film surface of the flexible area before or during lamination. Its primary purpose is to shield the flexible panel from prepreg (PP) powder, resin overflow, pitting, compression cracking, and contamination—defects that commonly occur during rigid-flex lamination and lead to high scrap rates.[...]
