Water jet cutting is an advanced method that uses an abrasive material mixed with a high-pressure jet of water. The result is a method that won’t heat the material being cut, making it ideal for delicate objects, such as thin metal. Below are three of the potential uses of this technology and how your company can benefit from the products created.

3 Ways Your Business Can Use Water Jet Cutting

1. Custom Metal

Metal comes in many sizes, and it’s used for thousands of applications, so you need a cutting system that’s flexible. Compared to other cutting options, water jets offer numerous benefits. If you’re working with a thin sheet of metal, the water jet won’t warp it or create an unstable structure. Additionally, thicker materials are cut quickly without generating excess heat and affecting the cut edge.

2. Glass

Because it’s a delicate material that’s prone to cracking, cutting glass can be a challenge. If your business needs custom windows, decorative glass, or mirrors, you’ll want to choose a company that utilizes water jet technology. The smooth cut edge ensures that the surface won’t need secondary finishing, speeding your installation process.

3. Rubber

This material is particularly sensitive to heat, and other cutting methods can lead to melting and warping. Water jet cutting creates precise incisions in rubber objects without compromising the integrity of the final product. This is particularly important if you’re producing rubber components that need to be incredibly accurate, such as gaskets and hoses.
