Cold-cut any material up to 150 mm thick — metals, composites, stone, glass, ceramics — with zero heat distortion and ±0.15 mm tolerance.
Abrasive waterjet cutting uses a high-pressure stream of water (up to 4,000 bar) mixed with garnet abrasive particles to erode material. The cutting process is entirely cold — no heat-affected zone (HAZ), no material hardening, no residual stress.
Unlike laser or plasma, waterjet cuts absolutely anything: titanium, carbon fibre, bullet-proof glass, granite — even food. It's the go-to process for exotic materials and thick sections where laser or plasma fall short.
If it can be held flat on the cutting table, we can cut it. No minimums on exotic materials.
Minimum internal feature diameter = 1.2 mm (abrasive stream diameter). Very small holes require a piercing start — add 0.5 mm to the edge-distance spec.
Waterjet cuts develop a slight taper (0.5–2°) on thick material. For tight-tolerance fits on material > 30 mm, request angle-compensated cutting — quoted separately.
Leave at least 3 mm between close features to prevent breakout. For brittle materials (glass, ceramics) increase to 5 mm or use tabs.
