A number of factors go into making the decision of using the waterjet or laser.

These include

• Material Choice

• Thickness of material

• Quality of cutting required

We will take all this into consideration before advising what machine we will use to cut on

High pressure water — above 50,000 psi of pressure — and an abrasive garnet mix together to cut through nearly any material.

Waterjet cutting is special in that it has the ability to cut through a wide range of materials that other cutting methods don’t always do well. So far, we have worked on projects with steel, timber, acrylic, aluminium, stone/tiles and more.

Our CO2 laser uses a mixture of gases to produce a powerful beam of infrared light to cut through material

We absolutely can! We frequently help out customers seeking custom parts for bespoke machinery in a variety of industries.

You can choose to provide your own CAD designs if you have them, or simply provide us a reference part and we’ll take care of the rest using our state of the art tracing technology.

This will vary widely based on many factors — your source material, the number of parts in your design, the complexity and intricacy of your design, and so on. Of course, it will also depend on our backlog at the time you place your order.

As a guide, very simple geometric designs on common material such as steel or aluminium can often be cut in under an hour.

If heat-affecting is a concern, we will cut your job on the waterjet.

Waterjet is a cool cutting process that won’t heat affect your material. This is great for bisalloy and high-carbon steel where you don’t want to adversely affect the material properties.

Almost anything! Metals, stone, glass (except tug-fended glass), plastics, rubber, wood and more.

We can cut material up to 200mm thick using the waterjet.

Yes! We can cut bevels up to ±60º into most materials using the waterjet

Not always. It’s easier with them but we are happy to work with you and bring your designs to life!

If you have something in mind, bring in your pictures or hand drawings and we can start with that.
