Altium Develop lets your designers and manufacturing engineers collaborate on complex stackup configurations like rigid-flex, with shared visibility into layer definitions so nothing gets lost between design and fabrication: altium.com/develop?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=rigid-flex-pcb-design&utm_content=creating-rigid-flex-stackups-layer-configuration-tutorial

Learn how to build a rigid-flex PCB layer stackup by integrating flex sections into rigid sections using proper layer configuration techniques. This tutorial walks you through the process of adding signal layers, configuring dielectric materials, and setting up adhesive layers with the correct thickness and dielectric constants for professional rigid-flex designs.

Whether you're transitioning from standard rigid PCB design or looking to master flex and rigid-flex applications, understanding layer stack configuration is essential. This step-by-step guide demonstrates how to insert layers above and below your flex core, define rigid prepreg materials, and configure adhesive layers with polyimide properties for reliable rigid-flex PCB manufacturing.
