How Hardware Startups Use Flexible Printed Circuits
Lucas and Luna explore how flexible printed circuits (FPCs) are helping hardware startups save space, reduce weight, and improve reliability in compact devices. They walk through a case study of a medical wearable startup that swapped rigid PCBs for FPCs in a continuous glucose monitor, cutting volume by 40 percent and eliminating three connector failure points. They discuss design considerations like bend radius, dynamic vs. static flex, and the importance of working with a fabrication partner early. They also touch on cost trade-offs — FPCs are typically 2 to 3 times more expensive per unit…
