Flexible Thinking: The Key to a Successful Flex Circuit Design Transfer
03/26/2025 | Joe Fjelstad -- Column: Flexible ThinkingThis month, I will discuss the most common design errors that fabricators see, typical areas of miscommunication between design and fabrication, and what designers can do to avoid putting their jobs on hold. This is no simple task, given the many things that can go wrong in flex circuit manufacturing, but many of these issues originate in the design process.
