Our High Quality Waterjet Cutting Service

Controlled by CNC (Computer Numerical Control) systems, our waterjet cutting uses extremely high-pressure water mixed with an abrasive substance to cut through materials of various thicknesses for prototypes, one-offs, and broader industrial applications.

Traditionally, waterjet cutting has been viewed as a slow and costly process. However, our automated waterjet process, coupled with our extensive experience, enables us to provide quick, efficient, and cost-effective waterjet services for businesses.

Advantages of Waterjet Cutting

Saving time and money on your project is just the beginning. Compared to laser cutting, waterjet cutting services are the ideal solution for unusual and thick materials that require quality edges. It's one of the most popular methods for cutting raw materials, and for good reason:

High Precision

Superior Edge Quality

No Heat Affected Zone (HAZ)

Material Versatility

CNC waterjet cutters easily switch from pure water to abrasive cutting and can cut virtually any material. For instance, they effectively handle materials that are reflective, heat-sensitive, or non-conductive—often unsuitable for laser or plasma cutting.

Cost-Effectiveness

Safe and Sustainable

Waterjet Cutting Design Guidelines

Maximize the quality and efficiency of your waterjet cut parts by following our recommended design guidelines:

Minimum Feature Size

Tolerances

Material Thickness

While waterjet cutting is optimal for materials up to 6" (152mm) in thickness, cutting thicker materials may increase cut times and potentially result in wider kerf widths.

Kerf Width

Corner Radii

File Formats

Level up Your Waterjet Cut Parts

In addition to using waterjet cutting to shape metals and plastics of various thicknesses, waterjet cutting is also the ideal method for processing composite materials such as Carbon Fiber and G10/FR-4. Moreover, we offer a variety of finishing options to enhance the appearance and functionality of your parts. If you need custom materials or finishes not listed here, please contact us.
