Ok so sculptured flex means exposed edge finger conductors without any
polyimide support between conductors. At a previous company we used
regular flex finger with conductor on both sides but added via holes to
allow for three dimensional hand solder connections. We had lots of
problems with the hot bar soldering processes prior to that.

In a nut shell: By starting with the thick copper you create fairly
rigid, plated, "solderable" finger(s) / pins, typically at the end of
the circuit. The rest of the flex is etched down in order to make the
cable flexible.

You can look on our website www.pfcflex.com - basically you start with
thick copper and etch so you have thick copper in some areas and thinner
in others - invented in the early 80's. Steve Kelly

Ok, I will bite.
Could someone please explain to me what a sculptured flex circuit is?
Thanks in advance

Most places I have used before won't even quote it.
