5 more industries where companies should be using waterjet cutting for better cutting precision and reduced wastage

Previously, we discussed 5 industries where companies ought to be using waterjet cutting to reap the financial and production benefits that come from better cutting precision and reduced wastage.

Here are five more where there are substantial benefits from making the switch.

1. Electronics

  • Waterjet cutters are capable of the precise cuts needed for small-scale components.
  • Waterjet cutting can also cuts delicate materials like circuit boards without causing thermal damage.

2. Medical and Healthcare

  • Producers of medical products and devices can use waterjet cutting to make surgical instruments and implants from bio-compatible materials.
  • Waterjet cutting will cuts intricate patterns with high precision, something that is regularly essential for medical devices.

3. Defense and Military

  • Waterjet cutting is ideal to cut armor plating and other durable materials that are used in military vehicles and equipment.
  • Waterjet cutting is capable of damage-free, precision cuts needed for many parts used in aerospace and naval applications.

4. Art and Design

  • Artists and designers can use waterjet cutting to create intricate patterns and designs in metal, glass, stone, and other materials for their projects.

5. Food Processing

  • Waterjet cutting has become a staple technology in modern food processing, enhancing efficiency, quality, and safety.
  • A specialized form of waterjet cutting (without abrasive) is used to cut food products without contaminating or compromising quality.
  • Unlike other cutting methods, waterjet cutting doesn’t generate heat, preventing the food from cooking or degrading during the cutting process.
