Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard fasteners without considering expansion/contraction.Utilize oversized holes and consider slotted holes or spacing washers to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction of the polycarbonate.
Applying excessive force during cutting or drilling, leading to micro-cracks.Employ sharp, high-quality cutting and drilling tools specifically designed for plastics. Maintain moderate speeds and light feed rates.
