Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools which can cause chipping or cracking.Employ specialized cutting tools designed for plastics, such as a fine-tooth blade or laser cutter, for clean and precise edges.
Over-tightening fasteners during assembly, leading to stress cracks.Use appropriate clearance holes and avoid excessive torque when fastening. Consider using washers to distribute pressure evenly.

Common Applications
