Guaranteed Speed and Quality
The Microwaterjet® process exceeds traditional cutting methods such as laser cutting and milling. Our micron-precise process harnesses the power of a high-pressure water stream accelerating the smallest abrasive particles available today. In addition, the Microwaterjet® process delivers exceptional results without the common disadvantages of other methods, such as EDM, chemical etch and traditional abrasive water jet cutting. These results include:
No heat affected area that occurs in laser cutting- No stacking or minimum thickness requirements that are typically found in EDM
- No expensive and time-consuming post production process
- No waste resulting from tool accessibility concerns
We Provide: Fluid Precision, Flawless Results.
Microwaterjet® is the most precise waterjet process available. It uses proprietary know-how developed with new Abrasive Waterjet Micro Machining (AWJMM®) technology to cut a wide range of materials, including heat-sensitive ones.
Microwaterjet® cutting is economical, resource saving, precise, gentle on materials, and eliminates the need for post-processing.

Narrow Kerf Widths
The Microwaterjet® process offers precise cutting that cuts the smallest kerf widths. This ability is especially helpful for cutting micro-components in medical technology. Click the link below to learn how the Microwaterjet® helped cut small components to build a robotic arm.

FAQ
Why would I need Microwaterjet®?
In some cases, the parts that we produce cannot be cut any other way due to the combination of features and material type. Our customers are those who would have to post-process their parts after laser cutting or using wire EDM in order to remove slag or a recast layer.
Can The Microwaterjet® Cut Any Material?
Almost any material can be cut using our technology. Some types of glass and other extremely brittle materials cannot be cut. Many plastics and ceramics that are challenging to laser technology can be cut by Microwaterjet®. Where wire EDM is limited to conductive materials only, conductivity is not a requirement for Microwaterjet® technology.
How Does The Microwaterjet® Cutting Speed Compare To Conventional Water Jet Cutting?
Microwaterjet® was developed for creating fine features with higher tolerances than conventional water jet. Since we use a finer cutting stream and finer abrasive, our cutting speed is somewhat slower than conventional speeds.
How Does The Microwaterjet® Improve The Prototyping Process?
Microwaterjet® can prototype parts that can’t be cut using laser or wire EDM. You can also eliminate the cost associated with manufacturing stamping dies during the prototyping process.
