Companies in these 5 industries should be using waterjet cutting for better cutting precision and reduced wastage
High-pressure waterjet cutters deliver incredible advantages over similar technologies such as plasma or laser cutting. Since they do not generate heat when used, they can be used to precision-cut materials of many types and in various thicknesses.
Because waterjet cutting is so versatile and precise, and causes basically zero damage to the material being cut, the technology is becoming a popular, efficient and cost-effective choice for many applications across a wide variety of industries.
But which industries benefit the most?
Our experts weigh in.
1. Manufacturing and Fabrication
- Metal fabricators can use waterjet cutting to cut metals like steel, aluminum, and titanium without affecting material properties due to heat.
- Tool and Die Makers can produce highly accurate tools and dies with intricate details.
- For prototyping, waterjet cutters are Ideal for creating prototypes from various materials quickly and efficiently.
2. Aerospace
- Aerospace manufacturers can use waterjet cutters to cut high-strength materials like titanium and composites for components such as turbine blades, fuselage parts, and structural elements.
- Materials cut by waterjet cutting tech maintain integrity, which is incredibly critical for aerospace applications.
3. Automotive
- Auto manufacturers can use waterjet cutters for parts that require extreme precision, such as engine components, gaskets, and interior trim pieces.
- Waterjet cutters can also cut and size many of the materials auto manufacturers regularly use in production — metals, plastics, and glass.
4. Construction and Architecture
- Builders and construction companies can use waterjet cutters to cost-effectively produce custom-shaped tiles from marble, granite, and ceramic materials.
- Waterjet cutters can also be used to cut stone and concrete blocks to shape, and even apply intricate decorative designs to materials like glass and metal for architectural features.
5. Energy and Power Generation
- In energy and power generation, waterjet cutters can be used to cut materials for turbines, pipelines, and structural supports.
- Waterjet cutters also will very capably handle tough materials like stainless steel and exotic alloys that are regularly used in renewable energy and traditional power sectors.
