Water Jet Cutting
Water jet cutting is a highly versatile and precise method used to cut through a wide variety of materials, including metals, glass, stone, and plastics. The process involves directing a high-pressure stream of water, often mixed with abrasive materials like garnet, to cut through the material with incredible accuracy. Unlike traditional cutting methods, water jet cutting doesn’t generate heat, preventing material distortion, warping, or changes in properties. This makes it ideal for cutting heat-sensitive materials, and its precision allows for intricate designs with tight tolerances.
Additionally, water jet cutting produces minimal waste due to its narrow kerf, making it an efficient and cost-effective method, particularly in industries that prioritize material utilization.The process is used across various industries, including aerospace, automotive, manufacturing, and architecture. It is particularly valued in aerospace for cutting high-strength alloys and complex parts, as well as in automotive for creating metal components and trim. The versatility of water jet cutting extends to industries like stone cutting, where it can create detailed designs in materials such as granite and marble.
