Appropriate processing and storage help reduce waste. Follow the technical and safety documentation for the supplied material.
Before machining
Check appearance, dimensions and machining allowance, and verify material-process compatibility. For larger models, confirm bond locations, adhesive compatibility and curing requirements.
Machining and dust management
Choose tooling and machining parameters for the material. Use effective dust extraction and ventilation, and follow the safety documentation for protective equipment. Validate the process before scaling production.
Storage and transport
Store boards flat and fully supported. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, moisture and concentrated loading. Protect edges and surfaces during transport, and confirm any special storage requirements.
