Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or melting.Employ specialized plastic-cutting blades with appropriate tooth geometry and feed rates for a clean, precise cut.
Drilling holes too close to the edge without expansion features, causing stress concentration and potential cracking.Incorporate stress-relief slots or larger clearance holes around drilled fasteners to accommodate thermal expansion and prevent stress fractures.
