No MOQ, no tooling costs. Whether you're producing a one-off prototype or a full production run, we accurately cut complex profiles across metals, composites, plastics, and stone.
Materials for Waterjet Cutting
Metal Waterjet Cutting
Abrasive waterjet cutting — a high-pressure stream of water mixed with 80-mesh garnet abrasive — handles heavy aluminum plates (up to 150mm), titanium Ti-6Al-4V, hardened tool steels, copper, and stainless steel without warping or material temper loss.
What to Expect from Waterjet-Cut Parts
Waterjet cutting produces accurate profiles, clean edges, and minimal material distortion across diverse thicknesses.
Clean, Burr-Free Edges
Cold abrasive stream yields smooth, satin-matte edge textures requiring little to no secondary deburring.
Zero Heat-Affected Zone (HAZ)
No heat input preserves the structural integrity, temper, and metallurgical properties of pre-hardened alloys.
Narrow Kerf Width
Precision 1mm abrasive jet allows tight nesting of adjacent components, maximizing raw material utilization.
Controlled Edge Taper
Our 5-axis dynamic taper compensation heads eliminate natural waterjet V-taper for perfectly perpendicular walls.
Minimal Striations
Adjustable feed rates (Q4/Q5 quality) eliminate lower edge striations even on thick 100mm+ blocks.
Low-Pressure Piercing Marks
Gentle automated vacuum piercing prevents cracking and surface spalling on delicate composites and glass.
Design Guidelines for Waterjet Cutting
Minimum Feature Size
Avoid designing wall features thinner than the material thickness. Larger feature proportions ensure high dimensional stability.
Internal Corner Radii
The abrasive jet naturally creates an internal radius equal to half the nozzle kerf (~0.5mm). Allow for slight internal fillet radii in corners.
Hole Size Recommendations
Through-holes should ideally have diameters equal to or greater than the plate thickness to ensure rapid, perpendicular piercing.
Part Spacing & Nesting
When nesting components on large sheets, maintain at least 3-5mm spacing between parts to prevent thermal or pressure deformation.
Material Thickness Scaling
Thicker plates require slower cutting speeds. Specify functional tolerances that reflect plate thickness to optimize manufacturing costs.
Simplify Contours & Profiles
Eliminating redundant micro-facets and tiny decorative grooves can drastically compress waterjet cycle times and part pricing.
