Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics.Employ specialized router bits or laser cutters designed for polycarbonate to achieve clean, precise edges and prevent chipping.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentrations.Use washers and avoid excessive torque when fastening. Allow for thermal expansion and contraction by using slotted holes where appropriate.

Common Applications

  • Machine guarding and safety shields
  • Inspection fixtures and templates
  • Optical components requiring high impact resistance

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without appropriate coatings, as it can degrade material properties over time.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that can damage the polycarbonate surface.
