Printed circuit boards can be square, round, octagonal, or whatever shape you desire. But there’s little choice when it comes to the third dimension: most PCBs are flat and rigid. Sure, you can make ...

Building electronics in unconventional form factors with high packaging density is possible thanks to three-dimensional circuit designs using flex and rigid-flex printed circuit boards (PCBs).

Flexible printed circuit boards (PCBs) aren’t much different than rigid boards during the design phase, except that the designer must account for the mechanical complexity associated with flex ...

This white paper is designed to guide you through the intricacies of rigid-flex printed circuit board (PCB) design. In today’s electronics industry, there has never been more demand for compact, ...

Printed-circuit-board (PCB) services are typically how developers start building prototypes and how small-to-medium production runs are done, since investing and managing an in-house PCB isn’t always ...

The 2019 Hackaday Prize, which was announced last week, is very much on everyone’s mind, so much so that we’ve already gotten a great response with a lot of really promising early entries. As much as ...
