Why Waterjet?
Accuracy
Waterjets are highly accurate, which makes it easier to cut complex shapes and contours. This reduces the chance of failed cuts and waste, especially when working with expensive materials.
Edge quality
Waterjets combine speed, pressure, and abrasive flow rates to create burr-free edges. This often eliminates the need for a secondary finish.
No heat affected
zones
Waterjet cutting is a non-thermal process, so it doesn't require heat and won't change the material's structure. This is especially important when cutting aluminum or steel.
Ability to cut harder materials
Abrasive waterjets use pressurized water and abrasive media to cut through harder materials. Different abrasives can be used to create specific surface finishes.
Material agnostic
Waterjets can be used to cut almost any material, including materials that can't withstand heat.
Material saving
Waterjet cutting produces minimal kerfs, meaning little material is removed during the cutting process.
Environmentally friendly
Waterjet cutting is more eco-friendly than other cutting technologies. It doesn't create hazardous waste or fumes, and the water and abrasive materials can often be recycled.
