Flex PCB
The result is a flexible, bendable circuit that can twist, fold, and flex into tight 3D spaces - unlike the flat, rigid construction of
standard PCBs.

The rigid construction gives standard PCBs more structural integrity but limits the shapes and sizes they can fit into. Flex
PCBs sacrifice some rigidity for the ability to contort into virtually any 3D shape required, enabling compact electronics
packaging. This makes flex circuits essential for modern slim devices like laptops, smartphones, wearables and more.
This flexibility opens up a world of possibilities, enabling engineers to create products that are smaller, lighter, and more
durable than ever before.
