Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard metal cutting tools, which can lead to chipping and melting.Employ tools specifically designed for cutting polycarbonate, such as circular saws with carbide-tipped blades or CNC routers.
Over-tightening fasteners during assembly, causing stress cracks.Use appropriate spacing for fasteners and consider using neoprene washers to distribute pressure evenly.

Common Applications

  • Pneumatic system enclosures
  • Machine guarding
  • Sight glasses and inspection windows
  • Protective covers for sensitive components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid harsh solvents such as acetone or xylene, which can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when fabricating or machining to avoid inhaling fumes.
