Our Cutting Methods
We employ multiple cutting techniques to handle diverse PC sheet requirements:
- CNC Precision Cutting
Ideal for complex shapes and intricate designs. Computer-controlled machinery ensures repeatable accuracy, making it perfect for custom parts with strict dimensional standards. - Laser Cutting
Offers high precision for detailed patterns and thin to medium PC sheets. The non-contact process avoids material deformation, ensuring clean, precise edges. - Mechanical Cutting
Suitable for straight-line cuts and large-volume production. Equipped with sharp, specialized blades to prevent cracking or chipping of PC sheets.

Key Advantages of PC Sheet Cutting at NALIPU
- Rich Material Compatibility: Handles clear, colored, or textured PC solid sheets.
- Strong Adaptability: Accommodates small to large-scale orders, from prototypes to mass production.
- Enhanced Durability: Precision cutting preserves the inherent properties of PC (impact resistance, temperature tolerance, and transparency).
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1.What is the optimal blade type for mechanical cutting of polycarbonate sheets?
A: Carbide-tipped blades with 80-120 teeth (ATB grind) are ideal, as they minimize chipping and ensure smooth edges.
Q2.What is the maximum thickness of polycarbonate sheets that can be laser-cut effectively?
A: Laser cutting works best for PC sheets up to 12mm thick; thicker sheets may require multiple passes or waterjet cutting.
Q3.How to prevent polycarbonate from melting during cutting?
A: Use low feed rates (1-3m/min), ensure adequate cooling (compressed air or mist), and select sharp tools to reduce friction heat.
Q4.What tolerance can be achieved in CNC precision cutting of polycarbonate sheets?
A: CNC cutting can achieve a tolerance of ±0.1mm for sheets up to 20mm thick, suitable for high-precision applications.
Q5. Is it necessary to remove the protective film before cutting polycarbonate sheets?
A: No, keep the film intact during cutting to prevent surface scratches; remove it after processing is complete.
Q6.What is the recommended cutting speed for 5mm thick polycarbonate using a circular saw?
A: 1.5-2m/min with a blade speed of 3,000-4,500 RPM to balance efficiency and edge quality.
Q7: Can polycarbonate sheets be cut with the same tools as acrylic?
A: No, PC has higher impact resistance; use tools designed for thermoplastics with lower friction to avoid cracking.
Q8.How to handle burrs after cutting polycarbonate sheets?
A: Use 240-400 grit sandpaper or a deburring tool with light pressure; avoid excessive force to prevent surface damage.
Q9.What is the minimum radius for curved cutting of polycarbonate sheets?
A: For 3-10mm thick sheets, the minimum radius is 1.5x the sheet thickness to prevent stress cracking.
Q10.How does humidity affect polycarbonate cutting accuracy?
A: High humidity (>60%) can cause slight sheet expansion; store PC sheets in a controlled environment (40-50% humidity) 24 hours before cutting.
