Why use Abrasive Waterjet Cutting?
Waterjets can cut wide range of materials from hard brittle materials such as hardened stainless steel, inconel, hastalloy, ceramics, glass, stone, and marble to soft materials such as rubber, foam, composites, laminates, and plastics.

Waterjet vs. Milling

Rapid clean-up, faster and easier programming; ability to machine a wider range of materials ranging from brittle hard materials to soft, 'gummy' materials; no tool change-out.

 

 

Waterjet vs. EDM

Much faster and therefore less expensive machining; process non-electrically conductive materials such as plastics, glass, ceramics, and stone; does not require pre-drilling pilot holes; no heat-effected zone; capable of processing larger parts.
Waterjet vs. Laser

Abrasive jets do not cause thermal distortion or require post cutting heat treating; lower capital equipment cost reducing machining price; ability to process reflective materials; no scale on edges reducing clean-up cost; no potential dangerous fumes are generated using abrasive water-jets; safer operation; ability to cut thicker materials.

 

Waterjet vs. Plasma

No thermal distortion or heat effected zone; no scale on edges reducing clean-up cost; cut wider range of materials including plastics, foams, and rubber.
