Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for polycarbonate, leading to chipping or cracking.Utilize carbide-tipped saw blades or laser cutters specifically designed for plastics to ensure clean, precise cuts.
Over-tightening fasteners, which can cause stress concentration and localized cracking.Employ washers and avoid excessive torque when fastening. Allow for thermal expansion and contraction.
