Waterjet Cutting — Cold Precision up to 12″ Thick
ISO 9001:2015-certified process delivers ±0.005″ accuracy with zero heat-affected zone.
Why Choose Waterjet?
A high-velocity jet of water mixed with garnet—pressurized to 60 000–87 000 psi—erodes material instead of melting it.

Typical Materials & Thickness Guide
| Material | Max Tested Thickness | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Carbon / Alloy Steel | 6″ | Maintains hardness; no temper loss |
| Stainless Steel | 5″ | Smooth edges |
| Aluminum | 6″ | Minimal burrs & kerf (~0.040″) |
| Titanium / Inconel® | 4″ | Ideal for aerospace heat resistors |
| Glass, Stone, Quartz | 3″ | No cracking—abrasive pierce start |
| Carbon Fiber, Kevlar | 2″ | Clean weave, no fraying |
When Waterjet Beats Laser
- Zero HAZ keeps metallurgy intact on hardened steels and exotic alloys.
- Any material — conductive or not.
- Edge-quality choices 20% - 60% to dial finish vs. cycle time.
Limitations
- Slower on thin gauge
- Abrasive media disposal adds cost
