Find answers to some frequently asked questions about our waterjet cutting services. If you still have questions, feel free to contact our team! We’re here to help!
Waterjet cutting uses an ultra-high-pressure stream of water, combined with fine abrasive particles, to cut through a wide range of materials with exceptional precision.
The waterjet operates at pressures of up to 66,000 psi, creating clean cuts without generating heat.
This means materials won't warp, burn, or become heat-damaged during the cutting process.
Waterjet cutting is ideal for both delicate materials and hard metals, delivering a high-quality finish with cutting tolerances of up to 0.025mm.
We can cut a huge variety of materials, including, but not limited to:

If you're still unsure, contact our team on 0412 783 467. We're happy to discuss your project and let you know whether waterjet cutting is the right solution.
For most materials, thickness ranges between 0.2mm and 150mm, depending on the type.
Harder materials are typically cut from around 1mm to 120mm, while softer materials can often be processed up to 150mm thick.
If your project falls outside these ranges, get in touch, and we'll advise whether it's suitable for our waterjet cutting equipment.
The waterjet cutting machine offers several advantages, including:
These advantages make waterjet cutting an excellent choice for both industrial manufacturing and custom one-off projects.
Yes, DXF files are our preferred format because they're directly compatible with our waterjet cutting software and allow us to quote and manufacture your project quickly.
However, if you don't have a DXF file, that's not a problem. We can often convert other CAD file formats into DXF before production.
If you're unsure whether your file is suitable, simply send it through, and we'll take a look.
The cost of waterjet cutting depends on your material, thickness, design complexity, and the amount of cutting required.
Simple projects using thinner materials are generally less expensive than intricate designs or thicker materials that require longer cutting times.
If you'd like an accurate price, simply send us your drawing, dimensions and material details. We’ll provide customised quotes based on your specific requirements.
Waterjet cutting is the better choice when preserving the material is the priority.
Unlike laser cutting, waterjet cutting produces no heat. This means there's no risk of warping, burning or creating heat-affected zones, making it ideal for heat-sensitive materials, thick materials, composites, stone, glass, and many metals.
On the other hand, laser cutting is designed for different applications and can be faster for some thin metal parts. But when precision, material integrity and versatility matter most, waterjet cutting is often the preferred solution.
Waterjet cutting can process an enormous range of materials, making it one of the most versatile cutting methods available.
Common materials include:
It can also cut materials that would otherwise crack, melt or distort with other cutting methods.
If you're unsure about your material, contact us, and we'll be happy to help.
