Current IssueRules of Thumb
This month, we delve into rules of thumb—which ones work, which ones should be avoided. Rules of thumb are everywhere, but there may be hundreds of rules of thumb for PCB design. How do we separate the wheat from the chaff, so to speak?
Partial HDI
Our expert contributors provide a complete, detailed view of partial HDI this month. Most experienced PCB designers can start using this approach right away, but you need to know these tips, tricks and techniques first.
Silicon to Systems: From Soup to Nuts
This month, we asked our expert contributors to weigh in on silicon to systems—what it means to PCB designers and design engineers, EDA companies, and the rest of the PCB supply chain... from soup to nuts.

HON-Flex Chooses InCAM Flex as its Leading CAM Solution
March 9, 2017 | OrbotechEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Orbotech Ltd. has announced that HON-Flex has chosen InCAM Flex as its preproduction CAM solution. Developed by Frontline PCB Solutions, InCAM Flex is a dedicated industry-leading, field-proven preproduction CAM solution, for flex and rigid-flex PCB makers that provides precise CAM tooling and production data optimization via flex design for manufacturing tools.
“Since migrating from GenFlex to InCAM Flex, we significantly improved our efficiency and production quality, expnding our competitive advantage,” said Mr. Brad Chang, Design Director at HON-Flex. “InCAM Flex’s large scale automation capabilities enables us to process more complex files, lower maintenance costs, and cut errors and CAM processing time. Scale and Stretch has increased our productivity by allowing us to scale connectors and stretch the connecting traces faster than before. We’ve also noticed quality improvements since using Advanced Etch Compensation, which performs smoother compensation while eliminating the need to manually repair compensated data.”
“We are delighted that HON-Flex has migrated to InCAM Flex,” said Walter Hsu, PSP Director in Orbotech Pacific. “InCAM Flex was designed to help PCB manufacturers meet the increasing challenges of a rapidly growing flex PCB market by optimizing their flex production processes. The substantial improvements that HON-Flex is already experiencing in their production process are testament to our abilities to provide the right solutions at the right time.”
