Thick Polycarbonate Sheet for CNC machining prototpye

When making a prototype with CNC machining process, to have the best strength of the prototype and best apperance of the prototype, you need to machine the prototype in one piece, this means that the Polycarbonate sheet thickness need be over the height of product , but sometimes, product size is big such as automotive lighting lamp clear lens, so a super thick polycarbonate sheet will be needed in this case.

in some case , prototype material has to be same as tooling inejction material to obtain a real optic performance, so custom optic grade thick polycarbonate material is needed in this case.

FAQs about Thick Polycarbonate Sheet

We use extrude process to make Thick Polycarbonate Sheet to maintain the best transparency of the thickness polycarbonate sheet.

Generally, we can make a maximum 400mm thickness polycarbonate sheet, but this is challenging and scrap rate is high.

To cut thick polycarbonate sheet , the best tool is table jaw and jig jaw. but when you make prototypes , you aslo can use CNC machine to cut thick polycarbonate sheet.

After extruded the thick polycarbonate, annealing process is needed to avoid cracking during CNC machining process
