Versatile Waterjet Cutting for Complex Shapes & Thick Materials

Achieving burr-free, distortion-free cuts on virtually any material with high-pressure precision.

What Is Waterjet Cutting ?

Waterjet cutting is a cold-cutting process that uses a high-pressure stream of water, often mixed with abrasive particles, to slice through a wide range of materials without heat distortion. This makes it ideal for applications where preserving material properties and edge integrity is critical.

Our  Waterjet Cutting Capabilities

  • Cutting Thickness: Up to 6 in (150 mm), depending on material type

  • Tolerances: ± 0.010 in (0.25 mm) with consistent repeatability

  • Formats Accepted: DXF, DWG, STEP, IGES—optimized for seamless CAD-to-part workflow

  • Inspection: In-depth QA reports, dimensional verification, and DFM reviews before production

Advantages of Waterjet Cutting

Types Of Waterjet Cutting

How Waterjet Cutting Works ?

Design Input

A CAD file defines the exact geometry and cutting path.

High-Pressure Water Stream

Water is pressurized up to 60,000 PSI and directed through a fine nozzle.

Abrasive Mixing

Garnet or other abrasives are introduced for cutting metals and thicker materials.

Precision Cutting

The pressurized jet cleanly slices through the material, producing smooth edges with no heat-affected zone.

Materials  We Work With

Metal is a solid material that is typically hard, shiny, and a good conductor of heat and electricity. Metals can be shaped into different forms by hammering or stretching, making them very useful in construction, transportation, and manufacturing. Common examples of metals include iron, copper, aluminum, and gold. Metals are found naturally in the Earth and are often extracted from ores.

Composites are materials made by combining two or more different substances to create a new material with better properties. Each part of a composite keeps its own identity, but together they make something stronger, lighter, or more durable. For example, fiberglass is a composite made of glass fibers and plastic, and it is used in boats and car parts. Another common composite is concrete, which is made from cement, sand, and gravel.

Plastics are materials made from substances called polymers, which are long chains of repeating molecules. Polymers can be natural, like rubber and silk, or man-made, like the ones used to make plastic. Plastics are lightweight, strong, and can be easily shaped, making them useful in packaging, toys, bottles, and many household items.

Stone, glass, and ceramics are solid materials used widely in everyday life and construction. Stone is a natural material found in the earth, often used in building and sculpture because it is strong and durable. Glass is made by heating sand and other minerals until they melt, then cooling them quickly to form a clear, hard material used in windows, bottles, and screens. Ceramics are made by shaping clay and heating it at high temperatures in a kiln, making them hard and heat-resistant.
