What Is Waterjet Cutting?
Waterjet cutting uses a high-pressure stream of water mixed with an abrasive material to cut through plastic without the need for heat. Unlike laser or thermal cutting methods, waterjet cutting is a cold-cutting process, making it ideal for heat-sensitive plastics. This prevents melting, edge burn, or warping of your material.
As there is no heat-affected zone, the material’s integrity remains intact throughout the cutting process. This results in a cleaner finish and makes waterjet cutting highly versatile and an excellent choice for both simple and more complex, detailed cutting projects.
