Do you need data, tooling, and parts FAST? All Flex reverse engineering can help!

The All Flex Application Engineering team can reverse engineer an existing flexible circuit or flexible heater to determine material construction, mechanical outline, etc. to recreate an existing circuit. We also provide a CAD database for review prior to fabrication. We can replace incorrect, incomplete, or otherwise unavailable documentation while making improvements and adjustments for design reliability and manufacturability.
