Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate, leading to chipping or cracking.Employ carbide-tipped blades or laser cutting to achieve clean, precise cuts without material damage.
Applying excessive force during bending or fabrication, which can induce stress fractures.Utilize proper bending techniques with appropriate tooling and consider pre-heating the polycarbonate to reduce stress.
