Abrasive waterjet cutting is used extensively to achieve many architectural elements such as decorative structural beam saddles, staircase balusters, decorative wall panels, waterfall features, lettering, floor and walkway inlays, ac/heating vent grilles, skylight grilles, custom fence and gate details and even custom carpet logos. Many of the intriguing design features you see at casinos and amusement parks are created by abrasive waterjet machining.
This process is so versatile that designers are only limited by their imagination. We can cut virtually any material including glass, metal, and stone which are not readily done by conventional means. Because of the speed and accuracy of the waterjet process, our clients have been able to create intricate designs that are much lower cost than what they previously experienced.
