Cost-effective Alternatives
Rigid base material such as FR4 is bendable if it becomes sufficiently thin. If an application requires only a few bends with a large bending radius for installation in a statically clearly defined housing, SEMI.flex technology can be a cost-effective alternative to RIGID.flex. The thin bending areas can be created by a precise depth milling process. This technology has been in series use for many years, including in automotive applications.
A more efficient variant is the BEND.flex technology. It has thin bending areas formed by thin cores similar to those of RIGID.flex technology, but without using flexible films made of polyimide.
For clarification of the design and application possibilities, advice should be sought at this point from the PCB manufacturer you trust.
