Whether you need a hard-to-find part for a vital piece of equipment or are designing a precision tool with no margin for error, water jet cutting can provide the results you need. Regardless of its application, this technique offers incredible flexibility over other cutting processes. Here are several benefits of working with a fabricator who uses this incredible technology.

Why You Should Utilize Water Jet Cutting on a Project

1. Works on Any Material

Many materials can be eroded by water, so jet cutting offers nearly unlimited applications. Unlike other fabrication processes, water jets can be used to cut and shape almost any material you can imagine, from hardened steel to ceramics and glass.

2. Increased Precision

Using high-pressure water mixed with abrasive materials allows technicians to achieve remarkable degrees of accuracy. This is especially true if your design calls for interior cutouts, which can be challenging with other cutting processes.

Water jet cutting also leaves perfectly smooth edges without burrs or tool marks, which can make a part unusable. Many engineers specify water jet cutting in plans for creating precision parts because the process is extremely exact.

3. No Heat Used

Most fabrication processes create heat, which is dangerous for the operator and may distort and weaken the material. Compensating for these effects is a painstaking process that may produce substandard parts.

On the other hand, water jet cutting is a heatless process, so you won’t have to worry about heat-affected zones in the item. This also makes it ideal for working with materials that are vulnerable to heat, like aluminum and plastic.
