Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard drill bits without appropriate cooling, leading to melting or cracking.Utilize specialized polycarbonate drill bits or standard bits with adequate cooling (e.g., high-speed drilling with air blast) to prevent thermal damage.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentrations and potential cracking.Employ washers and tighten fasteners to a snug, not excessive, torque, allowing for slight thermal expansion and contraction.

Common Applications

  • Industrial machine bracing
  • Structural support components
  • Custom fixture fabrication

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners that can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Ensure proper ventilation during cutting or machining processes to manage dust and potential fumes.
