Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a saw with coarse teeth, leading to chipping or cracking during cutting.Utilize a fine-tooth blade specifically designed for plastics or a router with a carbide bit for clean cuts.
Applying excessive force or heat during bending or forming, causing stress fractures.Employ controlled heating methods and gradual bending techniques, or consult manufacturer guidelines for recommended forming parameters.

Common Applications

  • Machine Guarding and Safety Shields
  • Protective Enclosures and Covers
  • Custom Fabrication and Prototyping

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that can damage the surface of the polycarbonate.
