Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or melting.Utilize specialized cutting tools for polycarbonate, such as carbide-tipped blades or laser cutters, and maintain appropriate feed rates and speeds.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress cracks in the polycarbonate.Employ a proper fastening technique with appropriately sized washers and torque settings to distribute load and prevent stress concentration.
