Materials
Our water jet cutting machine is capable of cutting an extensive range of materials up to a thickness of approximately 200 mm. Other methods cannot cut many materials, such as stone, porcelain and ceramic tiles, into complex shapes like the waterjet can. Materials include:
​
-
Titanium
-
Stainless steel
-
Mild steel
-
Hardened tool steel
-
Aluminium
-
Titanium
-
Shim material
-
Armour plate
-
Non-ferrous metals and specialised alloys
-
Copper
-
Brass
-
Lead
-
Composite materials
-
Special metals such as hardox and tantalum
​
As you can see, almost any material can be cut using the waterjet. Instead of being limited by conventional cutting processes, the waterjet method will cut through sheet or plate material, thick or thin, and produce intricate shapes. As a result, the industries that make use of the water jet are numerous, each with their own material requirements.
2D and 3D waterjet profiling opens up a wide range of possibilities for design innovation and production cost savings for a wide range of industry sectors and applications. Whether within aerospace or architecture, precision engineering, ship building, electronics and marine engineering or automotive, the precision of cut and high quality of finish, waterjet machining provides a real alternative to other, often more expensive, techniques.
