ENGINEERING WORKBENCH

Turn questions into
design decisions.

Explore a construction before you send files. Every result shows its assumptions and the next question to take to your fabricator.

01 / GEOMETRY

Bend radius

Check a static screening benchmark. Identify designs that need further engineering review.

Open calculator ↗
02 / CONSTRUCTION

Stackup builder

See copper, dielectric and coverlay layers. Separate flex thickness from local reinforcement.

Build a stackup ↗
03 / MATERIALS

Material selector

Build a material shortlist around motion, temperature, budget and signal requirements.

Compare materials ↗
04 / BUDGET

Cost estimator

Explore an illustrative budget range. Carry your build parameters into the quote brief.

Estimate a budget ↗

How much room does your bend need?

Use finished thickness in the flexible bending region, including coverlays and adhesives.

Uses published Minco static screening ratios, not an IPC-2223 calculation. Confirm the applicable IPC design requirements and final bend geometry with your fabricator.

Make the requirements reviewable.
