What Is Waterjet Cutting?

Waterjet cutting uses a high-pressure stream of water, often mixed with abrasive, to cut accurately through a wide range of materials. Because it is a cold-cutting process, it does not introduce heat into the material, helping to reduce distortion, hardening or heat-affected edges.

This makes waterjet cutting a strong option for thick metals, heat-sensitive materials, plastics, rubber, foam, composites, stone, ceramics and specialist materials that may not be suitable for laser cutting.

  • No heat-affected zone
  • Suitable for thick materials
  • Can cut metals, plastics, rubber, stone and composites
  • Ideal for complex shapes and accurate profiles

Waterjet Cutting vs Laser Cutting

Waterjet cutting is often better for:

  • Thicker materials
  • Heat-sensitive materials
  • Plastics, rubber, foam, stone and composites
  • Projects where heat distortion needs to be avoided

Laser cutting is often better for:

  • Thinner sheet metal
  • Fast repeat production
  • Clean, efficient profiling of suitable metals
  • Projects where speed and cost-efficiency are priorities

If your project involves thinner sheet metal and speed is the main priority, our laser cutting in Preston service may be more cost-effective.
