Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics.Utilize specialized plastic cutting blades or routers with sharp, high-tooth-count blades to prevent chipping and melting.
Drilling holes too close to the edge without stress relief.Drill pilot holes and consider adding a small radius or chamfer at the edge of drilled holes to minimize stress concentration and prevent cracking.

Common Applications

  • Protective Machine Guarding
  • Custom Sight Glasses
  • Precision Measuring Fixtures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to harsh solvents, which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or pads, as they can scratch the surface.
