FAQ’s

Yes. There are many ways the process proves to be a time and cost saver:

• Eliminates the need for dies, holding fixtures, and special set-ups
• Parts can be nested for higher material yield
• Ability to cut multiple layers of material
• Low cost for prototype parts or large run production
• Edge finish reduces or eliminates the need for secondary processing operations
• Fast turnaround virtually no set-up
• Narrow kerf less material waste
• Cuts both non-metallic and metallic materials without heat

• Saws (Bandsaws) Waterjet is faster, requires less labor, can cut harder materials, cuts tightly curved shapes and can make holes.
• Lasers In most cases waterjet cuts thicker materials, all types of reflective metals, and non-metallic substrates leaving no heat affected zones.
• Wire EDM Where +/-.005 tolerance is required, waterjet is faster, less expensive, can cut non-metallic substrates and can make holes.
• Plasma / Gas Torch Cutting Waterjet is more accurate and can cut cleaner,œready to use edges and no secondary process is required.
• Traditional Machining Waterjet requires no tooling or set up and can cut harder materials. There is less material waste which optimizes parts yield.

• Holds tolerances down to in most cases
• Edges are free from burrs and resemble a sandblasted surface
• Edge quality can be adjusted through cutting speed
• Flexible materials can be cut with less taper than with die cuttingCut quality typically needs no further processing and allows you to use
• Intricate, complex shapes with small inside corners can be easily cut
• Soft materials can be cut without distortion
• CNC controlled – parts are repeatable

We have three machines: two have a cutting envelope of 50 x 100 inches, and the third machine has an envelope of 60 x 120 inches. Please contact us for your oversized cutting needs. We have the capability to handle larger shapes with multiple set ups.
