When Heat, Cracks or Complex Shapes Limit Your Cutting Process
Laser, plasma, saw cutting and traditional machining are not always suitable for brittle, thick, reflective or heat-sensitive materials. Waterjet cutting provides a flexible cold cutting solution for manufacturers that need cleaner edges, less thermal damage and broader material compatibility.
Heat Deformation
Waterjet cutting helps avoid burning, hardening, discoloration and thermal distortion on sensitive materials.
Brittle Material Cracks
Suitable for glass, ceramic, sintered stone, marble and granite where edge quality and crack control matter.
Complex Shape Cutting
Cut holes, arcs, curves, logos, inlays, sink openings and irregular parts directly from CNC drawings.
Multi-Material Orders
One waterjet system can process stone, glass, metal, ceramic, rubber, plastic and composite materials.

|---|---|---|---|
| Waterjet Cutting | Stone, glass, metal, ceramic, composites, rubber and custom shapes | Requires water, abrasive and proper maintenance | When you need cold cutting, multi-material capability and complex shape cutting. |
| Laser Cutting | Thin metal sheets and high-speed sheet metal production | May create heat-affected zones and has material limitations | Use waterjet when cutting thick, reflective, brittle or heat-sensitive materials. |
| Plasma Cutting | Fast cutting of conductive metals | Heat distortion and rougher edges may occur | Use waterjet when edge quality and no thermal damage are important. |
| Saw Cutting | Straight cutting of stone or simple profiles | Limited for curves, holes and complex irregular shapes | Use waterjet for sink holes, arcs, decorative patterns and custom shapes. |
