Waterjet Cutting

Waterjet cutting is a cold-cutting technique that uses water (or a mix of water and abrasives, such as garnet) to cut through materials via rapid erosion. The waterjet nozzle ejects water at three times the speed of sound. The pressurized water stream magnifies the effect of erosion to quickly and cleanly produce the necessary cuts on the material.

This technique is suitable for cutting a variety of materials—ranging from soft products like foam and carpet to hard metals like ceramic and metal—and can cut through materials up to 6 inches thick .

Some of the industries in which water jet cutting are commonly used include:

Aerospace (aircraft engines, turbine blades, control panels, etc.)
Architectural (marble, tile, stone, ornamental components, etc.)
Biotech (pipes, tubes, disks, etc.)
Chemical (tanks, pipes, tubes, etc.)
Food processing (foam, food cutting, packaging, etc.)
Marine (pipes, pumps, etc.)
Mechanical (pumps, disks, rings, etc.)
Packaging (inserts, foam, etc.)
Pharmaceutical (tubing, disks, etc.)
Vacuum (tubing, pumps, pipes, etc.)
Welding (pumps, disks, rings, etc.)
