CNC Waterjet Cutting Plastics, Foams, and Rubber
Many times the waterjet is the best tool to cut plastics and foams because there is no concern for melting the plastic to your bits, or flinging plastic all over your machines.
Capabilities
- Any flat shape!
- Tolerance down to 0.005″
- Holes down to 0.040″
- Thickness from 0.001″ to 6″+

Plastic Materials we CNC Waterjet
- Pretty much any plastic can be cut.
- Nylon
- HDPE
- LDPE
- Polyethylene
- Polypropylene
- Polycarbonate (Lexan)
- PVC
- Acrylic (may be better on the laser)
Foams we CNC Waterjet
- We can cut nearly any foam up to 6″ thick with high precision.
- With or without adhesive backing
- Open and Closed cell foam
- Polyurethane foam
- Polyethylene foam (and crosslinked PE)
- EVA foam
- Memory Foam
- Polystyrene (styrofoam)
- PVC and Rubber Foams
- Custom Packaging foam
Rubbers
- Nearly any rubber or foam can be CNC waterjet cut, with or without adhesive backing
- Neoprene
- EPDM
- Nitrile (Buna-N)
- Viton (Fluoroelastomers)
- Natural Rubber
- Butadiene / Styrene-Butadiene (SBR)
Silicones
- Solid Silicones
- Fluorosilicone
- Aerospace Silicones
- Super high temp silicones
- Ablative Silicones
- Silicones bonded to metals, or with internal wires for lightening, or high energy deflection.
Other Soft Materials
- Can be cut with or without adhesive backing
- Mass dampening and sound absorbtion.
- EMI shielding (with our without adhesive)
- RF shielding for circutry
