All Flex Solutions Expands Rigid Flex Quick Turn Offering
March 4, 2024 | All Flex SolutionsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
All Flex’s Rigid Flex Center of Excellence has recently expanded expedited services for their rigid flex customers.
Recent capital improvements in All Flex Solutions’ rigid flex manufacturing facility are helping to accelerate production lead times on rigid flex designs. All Flex Solutions recently installed and qualified an innerlayer factory allowing them to issue materials to the floor and complete innerlayers in hours instead of days. The reduced cycle time gets product into lamination faster to complete the remainder of the manufacturing cycle.
Matt Tannehill, President of the Rigid Flex Center of Excellence commented “we’ve always been capable of building very high quality, very high reliability rigid flex circuit boards. A couple of months ago we defined a set of criteria, that would allow us to support faster turn cycles for our partners. We know that if we help our customers prototype and de-bug their parts at the beginning, we’ll likely have a partner when it comes to production volumes. This service will help us serve our customers better and collaborate with them on their initial designs.”
The quick turn service is based on capacity loading and material availability but offers designers of rigid flex printed circuits expedited services – typically two to four weeks after approval of artwork.
