Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect cutting tools leading to material deformation or poor edge quality.Utilize cutting tools specifically designed for aluminum and ensure blades are sharp for clean, efficient cuts.
Neglecting to account for material expansion or contraction during heating or cooling cycles in fabrication.Incorporate allowances for thermal expansion/contraction in your design and fabrication process, especially for large components.

Common Applications
