Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools not designed for plastics, leading to chipping or melting.Utilize sharp, carbide-tipped saw blades or routers specifically designed for cutting polycarbonate to ensure clean edges and prevent heat buildup.
Drilling holes too close to edges without proper support, causing cracking.Maintain sufficient edge distance when drilling, and consider using a backing material to support the polycarbonate during drilling operations.

Common Applications

  • Custom measuring fixture fabrication
  • Precision inspection jig construction
  • Protective shields for sensitive components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid exposure to harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners that can degrade polycarbonate.
  • Do not exceed the recommended continuous operating temperature range for polycarbonate to maintain structural integrity.
