Rigid Flex PCB Manufacturing

We bond rigid FR4/PI layers and flexible PI films into one single multilayer board. The rigid areas carry high-pin-count parts; the flex arms fold in 3-D space—no connectors, no cables, one continuous interconnect.
  • Multiple material choices
  • Up to 12 layers total
  • Max panel size: 54 inches

CNC Router vs CNC Mill: Which CNC Machining Service Should I Choose?

CNC Router: Mainly used for engraving, drilling and cutting various materials such as wood, plastic, metal and composite materials. Suitable for machining large plates and soft materials.

CNC Mill: Compared with CNC routers, CNC milling machines are more suitable for processing hard materials such as steel and titanium. They usually have a higher Z-axis movement range, suitable for machining large block materials, and have a more solid structure and higher precision. CNC milling machines use spiral end mills, while CNC routers can use straight-edge router tools, but straight-edge tools are not suitable for metal machining

What Is the Difference Between CNC Lathe and CNC Turn?

CNC Lathe: Suitable for machining round or cylindrical parts, may lack the accuracy and speed of CNC turning centers, but suitable for producing small volume or custom parts

CNC Turn: Suitable for producing round or cylindrical parts, is a more advanced CNC lathe that provides wider machining capabilities. CNC turning centers are suitable for large-scale production that requires high precision and repeatability
