Why use waterjet cutting?

Efficiently unleash cross-media information without cross-media value. Quickly maximize timely deliverables for real-time schemas. Dramatically maintain clicks-and mortar functional solutions.

• Cutting tolerances as close as +/-.003", depending on material and thickness
• High positional accuracies of +/-.001"
• Specialized tiling head allows material up to 4" thick to be cut without any taper
• Large cutting area, 13'4" x 6'8"
• Maximum material yield with tight nesting and small kerf (width of cut)
• No heat affected zones (HAZ), which means no hardened edges
• No heat is applied, so there are no changes to the properties of the material, which is especially important when working with tool steel, stainless steel or aerospace metals
• Can cut laminated and coated materials (powder, PVD, UV, ceramic, plastic, chromed, anodized) regardless of thickness
• Can cut material with a low melting point since no heat is applied
• No distortion or warping of materials
• Lower costs-more parts from less material
• Lower overall machine costs by waterjet cutting parts first, significantly reducing final finish machining costs
• Good machined edge finish is available, which means no burns or slag, eliminating the need for secondary finishing
• Thin gauge material, especially polycarbonates, can be stacked for multiple part generation from one cut
• Fast turnaround and lower costs on prototypes, which helps with the lead times and costs of creating custom dies or fixtures
