Frequently Asked Questions

What drawing formats do you accept for CNC machining?

We accept all major CAD file formats, including .DXF, .DWG, .STEP, .IGS, and .PDF. For 3D complex components, .STEP files are preferred to ensure the highest dimensional accuracy.

How do you prevent edge whitening or cracking during CNC routing?

We use specialized tungsten carbide bits designed for plastic machining and optimize spindle speeds to reduce heat. This prevents internal stress, ensuring the edges remain clear and crack-free without whitening.

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom CNC parts?

At Polycarbonate.cc, we support both prototyping and bulk production. We have no strict MOQ for CNC services, allowing you to order single prototypes before moving to high-volume manufacturing.

Can you machine polycarbonate with Anti-scratch (AR) or Anti-static (ESD) coatings?

Yes. We have extensive experience in machining coated polycarbonate. We keep the protective film on during the entire process and use specialized jigs to ensure the functional coating remains 100% intact.

How do you protect the surface from scratches during fabrication?

All polycarbonate sheets are machined with their original PE protective film. Additionally, our CNC tables are cleaned between every job to prevent any debris from causing surface micro-scratches.

What is the typical lead time for custom CNC orders?

Standard lead time for prototypes is 3-5 business days. For bulk industrial orders, the timeline depends on the complexity and volume, typically ranging from 1 to 2 weeks.
