Turn an interface problem into a manufacturable part

We help engineering teams define material, adhesive, liner, lamination and die-cut geometry around the complete assembly—then support fit checks and prototype evaluation before scale-up.

Tolerances are reviewed against material, thickness, geometry and laminated construction rather than stated as one universal value.

Engineering workflow

Four decisions between a problem and a production part

  1. 01 / INPUT

    Define the position

    Assembly drawing, substrate, interface gap, compression, temperature and functional target.

  2. 02 / CONSTRUCTION

    Choose the stack

    Base material, adhesive system, carrier, protective layer, liner and assembly features.

  3. 03 / PROTOTYPE

    Validate in context

    Fit, handling and application-specific performance in the customer’s complete assembly.

  4. 04 / INDUSTRIALIZE

    Plan for repeatability

    Tooling, process route, inspection points, delivery format and volume transition.

Engineering review framework

From project inputs to a defined component specification

Each review connects functional targets and assembly conditions to a proposed construction, supporting data and an agreed validation plan.

Data familyProject inputsFLEXCEND deliverables
Geometry & assemblyDrawing, gap, CTQs, tolerance stack, installation methodDFM review, converted stack, tooling route, critical-dimension plan

Representative ranges

Numeric windows for early engineering screening

These ranges help an engineering team decide whether a material family deserves a detailed review. The exact grade and finished part remain drawing-controlled.

Component familyRepresentative valuesImportant boundary
Thermal graphite0.070–0.100 mm; 700–1,000 W/m·K in-planeGraphite is conductive; lamination changes the stack limit
Thermal silicone pad0.50–3.18 mm; 1.0–10.0 W/m·KGap, pressure and contact condition drive the result
Conductive fabric / foam0.030–5.00 mm; about 50–95 dB reference dataFrequency, grounding and installed compression govern system EMI
Cushioning foam0.53–25.40 mm; about 1.7–310 kPa CFD across familiesNever compare values without strain and test method
PET / PI insulation0.012–0.500 mm; about 154–350 kV/mm selected filmsVoltage, edges, creepage and adhesive stack require review
Vent membrane100–270 mL/min at 70 mbar; >0.6 bar WEP referenceIP rating belongs to the validated installed enclosure

Evidence boundary: Published ranges are representative design-screening windows across material families FLEXCEND can source, convert and evaluate. They are not one universal finished-part specification. Final values are confirmed against the exact grade, thickness, adhesive stack, test method, approved drawing, production lot and complete customer assembly.
