Learning Advanced Flex and Rigid-Flex Design Support in Allegro 17.2-2016

Allegro PCB Editor now offers Rigid-Flex applications where it’s common to have different fabrics across the final PCB product. The new functionality offers integrating more technology into less material space. This technology enables design flexibility way beyond conventional rigid interconnect methods. Rigid-flex consists of flex circuit(s) that are laminated within a rigid dielectric material. Base Material for flex is generally Polyester or Polyimide. The most common metal is
