Matrix Materials Support Ultra-Long Flexible Circuits Applications
May 31, 2018 | MatrixEstimated reading time: 1 minute
The market for long flexible printed circuits continues to grow rapidly. The performance and high reliability of flexible circuits over traditional hard wiring and cabling continues to expand into new applications in medical equipment, automotive, aerospace and defense applications. One key challenge for manufacturing ultra-long circuits has been obtaining the custom sized long panels or flexible circuit roll materials needed to fabricate these circuits.
Matrix is pleased to announce that it can support long flexible circuit applications with either copper clad flex materials in roll form or custom made long flex material panel sizes made with the leading Panasonic Felios and Matrix Plus brand of flexible circuit materials. Matrix maintains a wide range of roll materials in stock and can provide custom panels on a quick-turn basis from the flex materials conversion center located in our Santa Clara, California location.
“We are pleased to take a leadership role in supporting this exciting market with a growing list of customers that are using proprietary roll to roll and long circuit manufacturing processes.” stated Bob Berg, Matrix VP of Sales and Marketing.

Trouble in Your Tank: Implementing Direct Metallization in Advanced Substrate Packaging
09/15/2025 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankDirect metallization systems based on conductive graphite are gaining popularity throughout the world. The environmental and productivity gains achievable with this process are outstanding. Direct metallization reduces the costs of compliance, waste treatment, and legal issues related to chemical exposure. A graphite-based direct plate system has been devised to address these needs.
Closing the Loop on PCB Etching Waste
09/09/2025 | Shawn Stone, IECAs the PCB industry continues its push toward greener, more cost-efficient operations, Sigma Engineering’s Mecer System offers a comprehensive solution to two of the industry’s most persistent pain points: etchant consumption and rinse water waste. Designed as a modular, fully automated platform, the Mecer System regenerates spent copper etchants—both alkaline and acidic—and simultaneously recycles rinse water, transforming a traditionally linear chemical process into a closed-loop system.
Driving Innovation: Depth Routing Processes—Achieving Unparalleled Precision in Complex PCBs
09/08/2025 | Kurt Palmer -- Column: Driving InnovationIn PCB manufacturing, the demand for increasingly complex and miniaturized designs continually pushes the boundaries of traditional fabrication methods, including depth routing. Success in these applications demands not only on robust machinery but also sophisticated control functions. PCB manufacturers rely on advanced machine features and process methodologies to meet their precise depth routing goals. Here, I’ll explore some crucial functions that empower manufacturers to master complex depth routing challenges.
