Waterjet Cutting Service
What is Waterjet Cutting?
A Waterjet Cutting Service utilizes a high-pressure stream of water, often mixed with an abrasive material, to cut through a variety of materials. This cutting process is highly precise and versatile, making it a preferred choice for industries that require intricate cuts on various materials, including metals, stones, plastics, ceramics, and composites. Waterjet cutting is known for its ability to handle materials that may be difficult to cut with traditional methods, without producing heat or altering the material’s properties.
Types of Waterjet Cutting Machines
2D Waterjet Cutting Machines
These machines are designed to cut flat materials with high precision and are typically used for cutting metals, plastics, and other flat sheets.
3D Waterjet Cutting Machines
These machines are capable of cutting complex three-dimensional parts. They are typically used in industries that require intricate 3D designs, such as aerospace or automotive manufacturing.

Best Applications for Waterjet Cutting
Advantages of Waterjet Cutting Services
No Material Distortion
Since no heat is involved, the process doesn’t affect the material’s properties or create unwanted distortion, warping, or melting, which can be a concern with other cutting methods like plasma or laser cutting.
High Precision and Intricate Designs
Waterjet cutting can produce very detailed, complex designs with a high level of accuracy and repeatability. It is excellent for cutting both simple and intricate patterns, logos, or text, making it ideal for industries like aerospace, automotive, and sign making.
No Tooling Costs
Unlike traditional cutting methods, waterjet cutting doesn’t require specific tools or dies. This can significantly reduce setup and tooling costs, especially for custom or low-volume production.
Ability to Cut Multiple Materials Simultaneously
A single waterjet cutting machine can be used to cut multiple types of materials in a single production run. This provides a high degree of flexibility and reduces the need for specialized machines.
Environmental Friendly
As mentioned earlier, waterjet cutting produces no harmful fumes or gases, and the water used can often be filtered and reused, minimizing waste and environmental impact.
