PCBs-as-we-know-them are usually flat and rigid, but what if you could create flexible boards in the shape of anything your heart desires? In this talk, I’ll explain how I created a flexible PCB in the shape of a crown while at MIT, using a Javascript- and web-based open-source tool. Discussing code-based techniques and pitfalls, there will be helpful points for you to consider when embarking on your own journey when creating flexible PCBs.
