Beyond the Rulebook
What happens when the rule book is no longer useful, or worse, was never written in the first place? In today’s fast-moving electronics landscape, we’re increasingly asked to design and build what has no precedent, no proven path, and no tidy checklist to follow. This is where “Design for Invention” begins.
March Madness
From the growing role of AI in design tools to the challenge of managing cumulative tolerances, these articles in this issue examine the technical details, design choices, and manufacturing considerations that determine whether a board works as intended.

EMA Presents Webinar on Designing the Perfect Stackup for Flex
October 25, 2024 | EMA Design AutomationEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Join the experts at Newgrange Design and EMA for their upcoming webinar, Flex in Focus - Designing the Perfect Stackup for Flex, to make sure you set your next flex project up for success from the beginning.
Starting with a strong foundation is key to a successful PCB design build. In this session we will focus on the foundation for your flex PCB designs; the flex stackup. Learn how flex stackups differ from standard rigid PCB boards and what you need to consider when designing them.
The webinar will be held online on Thursday, November 7th, 2024 @ 2:00pm ET.
What You Will Learn:
- Anatomy of the flex stackup
- Why the stackup is so critical to flex design
- Flex specific material choices and selection
- How to construct your Flex stackup
- Working with your manufacturer to define your flex design
- Quick demo to see how your CAD tools can help craft the perfect stackup for Flex
Join special guests, Lauren Waslick, Newgrange Design and Shannon Henry, EMA Design Automation.

Flexible Thinking: Designing Flex Circuits for Dynamic Reliability
04/09/2026 | Joe Fjelstad -- Column: Flexible ThinkingFlex circuits flex. No surprises there. However, they are also very commonly designed into products because they are thin and offer consistent thickness and dielectric properties, attributes highly prized by present-day product designers of personal electronics. This would include smartphones and, increasingly, wearable electronics for medical monitoring and even fashion.
