Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or melting.Employ specialized polycarbonate cutting blades (e.g., triple-chip grind) and maintain appropriate feed rates and cooling to prevent thermal damage.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing localized stress and potential cracking.Use washers and avoid excessive torque when securing the sheet; consider oversized holes or slotted channels to accommodate thermal expansion.

Common Applications

  • Custom measuring fixtures
  • Inspection jigs and templates
  • Protective machine guards for sensitive inspection equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that can damage the polycarbonate surface.
  • Polycarbonate is combustible; ensure appropriate fire safety precautions are in place.
