Waterjet cutting produces accurate profiles, clean edges, and minimal material distortion. Depending on the material type, thickness, and design geometry, certain characteristics may be visible on the finished part.
Following a few simple design guidelines can help improve cut quality, reduce production costs, and ensure a smoother manufacturing process.
Avoid designing features that are smaller than the material thickness whenever possible. Larger features improve cutting accuracy and edge quality.
Waterjet cutting naturally produces a small internal radius. For critical corners, allow for a slight radius rather than requiring perfectly sharp internal edges.
For best results, hole diameters should generally be larger than the material thickness. Extremely small holes may affect accuracy and cutting efficiency.
When nesting multiple parts on the same sheet, adequate spacing helps maintain edge quality and prevents interference during cutting.
Thicker materials may result in slightly wider kerf widths, more visible edge striations, and longer cutting times. Design tolerances should reflect the material thickness being used.
Unnecessary small details, sharp transitions, and excessive contours can increase cutting time and cost. Simplified geometry often improves manufacturability without affecting functionality.
Waterjet cutting is widely used across industries that require precise profiles, clean edges, and the ability to process thick, heat-sensitive, or difficult-to-machine materials.
Ideal for components that require high material integrity and minimal thermal distortion.

Waterjet cutting is a precision cutting process that uses a high-pressure stream of water and abrasive media to cut materials without generating heat. Because it is a cold-cutting process, it avoids thermal distortion, material hardening, and edge discoloration commonly associated with other cutting methods.
Known for its versatility, waterjet cutting can process metals, composites, glass, stone, rubber, foam, and plastics while maintaining excellent edge quality and dimensional accuracy. This makes it an ideal solution for complex parts, heat-sensitive materials, and applications requiring clean, precise cuts.
We accept most common CAD and drawing formats, including STEP, STP, DXF, DWG, IGES, and PDF files. For the fastest quoting process, we recommend submitting 2D vector files such as DXF or DWG whenever possible.
Typical waterjet cutting tolerances are up to ±0.1 mm, depending on part geometry, material type, and thickness. For critical dimensions, our engineering team will review your requirements and recommend the most suitable manufacturing approach.
The maximum cutting thickness depends on the material being processed. Waterjet cutting is particularly effective for thick metals, composites, rubber, foam, glass, and stone. Contact our team with your project requirements for specific thickness recommendations.
Absolutely. Waterjet cutting is a cost-effective option for prototypes because it does not require custom tooling and supports fast design iterations. It is also easily scalable for low-volume and production manufacturing.
Lead times vary based on part complexity, material availability, quantity, and secondary operations. Standard projects can often be completed in as little as a few days, while larger production orders may require additional time.
Yes. In addition to waterjet cutting services, we offer CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, bending, welding, assembly, and a wide range of surface finishing options, allowing you to source complete parts from a single supplier.
