Advantages of Abrasive Waterjet Fabrication

Competitive cost

Prototypes, production or limited runs on short notice
Smooth edges need no secondary processing
No tooling costs
Cut width of only 1.2mm for minimal material loss
Only 2mm spacing between nested parts for best material utilization

Accuracy & Repeatability

Precise, intricate shapes with tolerances of ±0.003
No burrs, stresses or heat-affected zones
Cold cutting process, no heat distortion, edge hardening or heating effected zones

Size, Flexibility & Speed

Production directly from .DXF files, CAD files or scanned images
Close part nesting assures maximum yield
Cuts virtually any material up to 7” thick
Maximum size 55” x 100”. Virtually no lower limit
Intricate designs are easily created
Reduces or eliminates secondary cleaning operations
All machining undertaken within a single set up
No restriction on hole size

Materials range

All steel alloys Armor plate Aluminum Brass & Copper Composites, other plastics Marble, Granite, Slate, other stones Lead	Foam Rubber Cast Iron Ceramics Wood Glass

Note: We do not cut tempered glass.

Environmentally friendly

The waterjet process uses plain water, no noxious gases or liquids, nor any oily lubricants, and the abrasive is garnet -- a natural reddish crystal of Mohs hardness 6.5 to 7.5.
