Waterjet cutting is a process using high pressure water (60,000 psi) mixed with crushed garnet abrasive. This mixture is forced through a small nozzle to produce a high speed stream capable of cutting almost any type of material.
Combined with a computer controlled machine any two dimensional shape can be cut.
The cut edge of the part is cleaner and squarer than that achieved by other cut processes. Waterjet is particularly effective in cutting types of materials that are difficult to cut using other methods.
The level of detail achievable with waterjet cutting is suited to applications such as signs, artwork and complex machine parts. Secondary machining or finishing operations can often be eliminated resulting in lower costs.
