As the name suggests, waterjet cutting shoots a highly pressurized stream of water (often exceeding 60000 psi) through a thin nozzle, sometimes with abrasive particles like garnet or aluminum oxide mixed in, to cut materials with percision without generating heat. Specifically, the nozzle guides the jet of water along specific paths on the work piece that is controlled by CNC operations, allowing users to perform any types of intricate and detailed designs.

This cutting-edge technology is extremely powerful, it could do clean and precise cuts on any types of hard materials out. Unlike other abrasive machining methods like Milling, Turning or even laser cutting, waterjet cutting does not generate heat on the work pieces which prevents melting, warping or changes to the structural integrity of materials. That way, the user does not have to worry about material deformation on heat-affected zones, making it ideal for machining on temperature-sensitive materials. 

In the ESDC, we have the Omax 55100 waterjet machine.
