Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastic, leading to chipping or cracking.Employ specialized plastic cutting blades or routers with appropriate speeds and feed rates.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing stress concentration and potential sheet fracture.Utilize washers and avoid excessive torque when fastening; consider slotted holes for thermal expansion.

Common Applications

  • Protective machine guarding
  • Durable material bins and trays
  • Impact-resistant windows and panels

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without protective coatings, as it can degrade the material.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when fabricating to avoid inhaling fumes from heated polycarbonate.
