Hi All, I need some thin sheets, preferentially something like polcarbonate or very similar. For the project, I will need to cut it and drill/make wholes into it so the thinner the sheet the better.

Hi All,
I need some thin sheets, preferentially something like polcarbonate or very similar. For the project, I will need to cut it and drill/make wholes into it so the thinner the sheet the better. The homepages i checked for supplies, only start with 2 or 3mm onwards, i think this is too thick for what im looking for.
Any suggestions what to use instead or what kind of material would be similar and easy to work with?

Thanks!

2-3mm polycarbonate is very easy to drill and cut. Going any thinner and you're moving away from rigid sheets.

Ok i see, thanks! Would it be also "bend-able"? Like when I use it the way i need it, it would need to be slightly bend over a corner to stay in place.
Thank you

And what's the radius of the bend required?
