Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Inaccurate cutting leading to dimensional discrepancies.Utilize precision measuring tools and calibrated cutting equipment, double-checking measurements before and during cuts.
Failure to account for material expansion/contraction in extreme temperatures.Incorporate appropriate allowances in design and fabrication for thermal expansion and contraction based on expected operating conditions.
