Our Waterjet Cutting machine uses a very high-pressure stream of water and abrasive particles to cut almost any material, up to 100cmm thick.
The WaterJet can precisely cut almost any material, including Steel, Alloys, Titanium, Copper, Brass, Stone, Tile, Glass, Concrete, Ceramics, Rubber and Plastics.
Due to the versatile nature of Waterjet Cutting, the possibilities are endless when it comes to what the cutter can do for both businesses and individuals.
Our customers use our service for projects that require incredible accuracy and speed of production, for both bulk and one-off requirements.
The waterjet is used for signage, decorative purposes on stone tiling and floors, custom production of an array of metal parts for machinery and sculptures, and cutting stone for bespoke marble kitchen fittings; to name a few.
There are many advantages to using Waterjet cutting as opposed to other methods such as Plasma/Laser/EDM cutting. These include:
- No Heat-Affected Zones- the WaterJet process does not generate the same level of heat as other processes. There are no burn marks or changes to the composition of the materials through heat.
- Cost Effective- WaterJet Cutting is cheaper than other processes.
- Accuracy- the accuracy on WaterJet cutting is better than 0.002", and can produce intricate designs with ease.
- Burr-Free Edges- the WaterJet cuts with very little force, so there is a tiny, if not non-existent amount of burr generated.
- Can Cut Composites- Can cut several materials glued together.
- Fast set-up and programming- The movement of the machining head is controlled by a computer, and a CAD programme is used, meaning our customers are able to bring in their own drawings, however simple, and we can create exactly what they need. We then simply 'Push Print' and the WaterJet gets started.
- Safe and Environmentally Friendly- The cutter itself uses no harmful materials, and releases no noxious fumes, (such as vapourised metal, as in the case of laser cutting) with no fire risk.
