Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using abrasive cleaners which can scratch the surface.Always use mild, non-abrasive cleaning solutions specifically designed for plastic or polycarbonate.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to stress cracks.Ensure fasteners are snug but not overtightened. Consider using washers to distribute pressure.

Common Applications

  • Custom Measurement Templates
  • Inspection Gauges
  • Protective Shields for Optical Devices

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation unless UV-stabilized grade is specified.
