Precision Waterjet Cutting
Waterjet cutting is a versatile manufacturing process that uses a high-pressure stream of water, often combined with an abrasive material, to cut precise shapes from a wide range of materials.
Because waterjet cutting does not create a heat-affected zone, it is well suited to materials that may be damaged, melted, distorted or hardened by heat-based cutting methods.
Our waterjet cutting service can be used to manufacture:
- Custom metal components
- Machine parts
- Rubber gaskets and seals
- Decorative panels
- Stone and tile designs
- Foam inserts
- Signage components
- Architectural features
- Industrial parts
- Prototypes and one-off components
- Repeat production parts
We work from customer-supplied drawings and can also assist with computer drawings and file preparation where required.
Benefits of Waterjet Cutting
Waterjet cutting offers several advantages for custom manufacturing and profile cutting.
No Heat-Affected Zone
The cold-cutting process helps protect the original properties of the material. It reduces the risk of heat-related melting, hardening, warping or distortion.
Precision Cutting
Waterjet technology can produce detailed profiles, intricate shapes and accurate custom components for many commercial and industrial applications.
Clean-Cut Edges
Waterjet cutting can create a clean edge and may reduce the amount of secondary finishing required, depending on the material and project requirements.
Wide Material Compatibility
Waterjet cutting can process many materials that may be difficult to cut using conventional methods.
Suitable for Custom Projects
The process can be used for prototypes, replacement parts, customised designs, small quantities and ongoing production work.
