Waterjet cutting can provide a very cost effective way of producing accurate two-dimensional parts in almost any material up to 200mm thick. Because it has no tooling, it is remarkably flexible and can be used for small or large production runs and in a variety of industries.
Waterjet cutting has many advantages over conventional cutting:
- There is none of the heat distortion associated with laser cutting
- No tooling is required
- It is more accurate than plasma or flame cutting
- No restriction on hole sizes
- No hardening of cut edges and no contamination
- Small and intricate parts can be produced
- Polished or unfinished materials can be cut
- The unique low pressure systems allows glass and laminates to be cut
- High quality edge finish
- Complex internal and external shapes with very small internal corners
More benefits:
- Full CAD/CAM integration and design flexibility
- An ideal service for fabricators in all industries
- Service speed unmatched locally or nationally
- Repeatability of profiled parts
- Advanced nesting software and small cutting beam minimises material wastage.
