When it comes to laser processing for flex PCB, how do you calculate and optimize total system cost of ownership (TCO) and cost per panel (CPP)? While every company has their own methods of making purchasing decisions and controlling expenses, this article will review one possible framework for doing both in the context of UV laser flex processing.

Driven by the demand for smaller, cheaper, and more capable devices, flexible circuits are increasingly being incorporated into a wider array of products than ever before. The reasons why flexible circuits have gained so much popularity are obvious. Given their ability to alleviate some of the packaging difficulties resulting from the move to smaller size constraints, flexible circuits simply allow for more packaging flexibility - both literally and figuratively.
