Support for flexi-rigid and flexible boards

Flexi-rigid Board Support

Flexi-rigid Board

True Flexi-rigid support is available using the features within the Advanced Technology package; Multi-spanned layer Areas, Board Outlines and Layer Spanned Components. Using these powerful options, the Board outline can be created to span 'internal' flexi layers that are still exposed externally. Adding Components to this layer span then allows them to also be exposed to the 'air'. Both through-hole and surface-mounted components on inner flexi layers can be achieved but with true 'side' and layer characteristics available within their Property definitions. This means true assembly reports, manufacturing plots and build details can be exported for an accurate manufacturing process.

Advanced Flexi-rigid board functionality includes:

  • Advanced Layer Spans
  • Layer spanned components
  • Layer spanned board outlines
  • Layer spanned board outline cutouts and areas
  • Layer Stack preview
  • Flexi board display in 3D Viewer
  • Advanced placements reports for manufacturing
