I will design multi layer rigid flex pcb layout in altium and kicad
Rigid Flex and HDI PCB Layout Expert
About this Gig
Struggling to fit complex circuitry into a moving mechanical hinge, wearable device, or tight custom enclosure?
Standard flat PCBs cannot handle modern aerospace, medical, or advanced consumer electronic form factors. Designing a multilayer PCB that seamlessly transitions into a flexible substrate requires advanced engineering knowledge of materials, bend radiuses, and trace fracturing prevention. I am a professional hardware engineer specializing in complex rigid flex PCB layouts.
I natively design and sync high-performance boards using Altium Designer and KiCad.
What I deliver with this gig:
- Advanced Rigid-Flex Layout
- Multilayer Stackups
- 3D Mechanical Sync
- Manufacturing Outputs
Please message me with your mechanical layout and schematics before ordering.
FAQ
What do you need to calculate the rigid-flex bend radius safely?
I require your physical enclosure dimensions (DXF or STEP file) and a clear understanding of whether this is a static bend (bent once during assembly) or a dynamic flex application (repeatedly bending during operation) so I can configure the proper copper weights.
How do you prevent traces from cracking in the flexible section?
I use specialized rigid-flex layout rules: employing curved/radius traces instead of sharp corners, implementing horizontal copper hatching on ground planes, and adding robust teardrops to via connections.
Will the final design files pass standard factory manufacturing checks?
Absolutely. The final delivery includes a complete DFM (Design for Manufacturing) check tailored specifically to rigid-flex parameters, producing standard Gerber files accepted by advanced fabrication houses.
Can you work with custom mechanical shapes and multi-zone stackups?
Yes. I specialize in complex boards that require different layer counts in the rigid sections compared to the flexible sections, completely mapped out via advanced layer stackup managers.
Do you provide the native project source files?
Yes. Every package includes the raw, fully unencrypted native project files from either Altium Designer or KiCad, so your internal engineering team retains total ownership.
