The capability of the waterjet cutter varies according to the softness or hardness of the material being cut. The usual range is between 0.2mm and 150mm thick. Hard materials are usually cut within a 1mm to 120mm range. Stainless steel or stone with a greater thickness can also be cut with a waterjet under certain circumstances. A successful result depends on the purpose for which cutting is done (for example prototype or production) and the unique system operating conditions. Custom waterjet cutting may be required for certain materials that have complex cutting specifications.
Cut Any Material with Precision Waterjet Cutting
A specialised waterjet cutting machine can effectively cut through any material with precision and ease. Because it is performed under cold conditions, there is little to no risk of damage to fragile and heat-sensitive materials, making waterjet cutting the safest and most effective way to cut virtually anything.
Some materials that are commonly cut by waterjet machines are plastics, metals (like steel, aluminium, titanium, and copper), rubber, glass, concrete, ceramics, and stone.
