Overview of the fundamental (significant, substantial) advantages of water-jet cuting techniques
Able to cut materials from felt to hard alloys
Fast prototype production
Flexible production, ‘Just in time’ fabrication
High cutting speeds
High cutting accuracy
High surface quality
Optimal material usage
Low cutting forces
No thermal impact (load)
No change in material structure
Narrow kerf width
Minor burr on the cutting edge
Little to no rework (finishing)
Selectable cutting quality
Biocompatibility
