Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Drilling holes too close to the edge, leading to potential cracking.Maintain adequate edge distance for all drilled holes, referencing recommended minimums for polycarbonate.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentration and material deformation.Use torque-limiting tools or hand-tighten fasteners with washers to distribute load evenly.

Common Applications

  • Industrial equipment bracing
  • Support structures for overhead components
  • Custom framing and enclosures

⚠️ Engineering Warnings
