Micro Waterjet Cutting

Micro waterjet cutting is a precise machining process that uses a high-pressure stream of water mixed with an abrasive to cut intricate and delicate shapes from a variety of materials. This technology utilizes high-precision motion stages to cut parts with smooth, taper-free sidewalls with micron-level accuracy.

Micro Waterjet Cutting Applications

Micro waterjet cutting applies to two-dimensional cutting through flat objects with a maximum size of approximately 2×2 feet. This technique is ideal for creating small, detailed parts with tight tolerances, making it ideal for medical device manufacturing. The process can also cut through multiple inches of material, providing versatility across a wide range of applications.

Micro waterjet cutting operates at a much finer scale than traditional waterjet cutting, allowing for minimal material waste and the ability to cut extremely thin or complex patterns without causing thermal or mechanical damage to the material.
