Hello Randy,

Per your request for good flex design software I wanted to let you know
about about some new software that Zuken has recently released called EM
Designer. This software allows you to dynamically place and route directly
onto 3D surfaces. It is targeted for both Flex and Molded Interconnect
(MIDS) designs. In the case of Flex designs the software can also unfold the
3D flex design onto a 2D flat pattern for autorouting, gerber generation,
etc. and then fold it back up again. An article was recently written by Mike
Peterson of Zuken in the November issue of Printed Circuit Design Magazine
on page 36. For additional information about this and other Zuken products
and solutions you can go to our web site at
http://www.zuken.com/data_freedom.asp. You can also visit us at the PCB West
Conference coming up in Santa Clara, CA in March.

Best Regards,

Tim Mullin

Does anyone know of GOOD software for designing flexes?

What does your company use, Mentor, IGI, Autocad, etc.?

We currently use IGI and management has asked us to reevaluate.

Thanks in advance for any information.
