In product design and engineering, breadboard has made prototyping electronics faster and easier. It removes the process of soldering required in any circuit assembly with arrays of pinholes that are electrically connected with metal strips embedded underneath. However, the current design of the common breadboard is rigid, unsatisfactory in situations that favor the flexibility of components. In this study, we present a new fabrication method for flexible breadboard. It can be made with readily available materials, which are essential for most rapid electronic prototyping. It can freely deform when exerting force and can play a major role in the development of soft interfaces.
