Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard cutting tools that can cause chipping or melting.Employ high-speed steel or carbide-tipped cutting tools specifically designed for plastics, or utilize a laser cutter for precision.
Over-tightening fasteners, leading to localized stress and potential cracking.Utilize washers and tighten fasteners to a snug fit without excessive force, allowing for thermal expansion.

Common Applications

  • Custom Pneumatic Enclosures
  • Machine Guards and Shields
  • Sight Glasses and Viewing Ports

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to UV radiation without protective coatings, as this can degrade material properties over time.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when machining polycarbonate to prevent the buildup of fumes.
