Use a router with fiducial correction? in reality if you are putting a PCB in a plastic enclosure then the injection moulding is going to have far greater tolerances than a laser or router depanelised PCB is. Also, if our laser markers are anything

if you have a budget for new machine, laser depanelising is pretty good for flex PCB as no physical stress on PCB like mechanical routing, thus fixturing is easier and less prone to moving the flex while cutting. Laser systens can also cut FR4 standa

Very cool - we're looking at 3D, too. I spend so much time designing then tweeking so it can be run on a 3 axis mill. 3D would make it easier! Good to know about laser, too. I always wondered the realities of it.

If by singulation you mean depanelising then the following: Press with steel rule die & plate - approx $500 for tooling Not particularly accurate, and needs replacing regularly, can be modified very easily Press with die tool - approx $10k-20K too

What SWAG said. We use a PCB Router exclusively for rigid flex assemblies. On a side note, we have begun to save fixturing costs by using 3D print technology to produce many of the fixtures, for both rigid and rigid flex. We can design and print l

I've done more if this that you can possibly imagine. I've designed 100 or more router fixture plates. It's not always easy that's for sure. We use a Cencorp router. It does O.K. but definately a little tricky to get nice cuts in the flex only ar
