Micron-Precise Cutting Flawless Results
Superior fabrication requires superior precision. Where other cutting methods won’t fit the bill, Micro Waterjet LLC’s specialized Microwaterjet® and MACROWATERJET solutions are designed to deliver.
Leveraging our proprietary Abrasive Waterjet Micro Machining (AWJMM®) process, Microwaterjet® and MACROWATERJET accommodate a wide range of materials and part complexities without compromising design or risking thermal distortion. Ideal for everything from the smallest internal components to large-scale cuts, they’ll provide clean, precise and resource-efficient results while eliminating high post-production needs.
There’s no better way to achieve speedy fabrication that preserves strength, detail, and cost-efficiency, whether you’re working on a prototype or scaling up to full production.

MicrowaterjetⓇ and MACROWATERJET Cutting vs. Other Methods
Not all cutting methods are created equal. You need a solution that won’t leave room for error. Our waterjet cutting applications are proven to be more precise, high-performing and gentler on materials. This presents clear advantages compared with other options (e.g., laser cutting, wire EDM and chemical etching), particularly in complex applications. Even the most intricate designs require little to no deburring and present minimal (if any) biocompatibility issues, ensuring a higher standard of quality.
Exceptional Material Compatibility
Both MicrowaterjetⓇ and MACROWATERJET technology are compatible with a wide range of materials. We cut everything from thin plastic films to ultra-hard metals and exotic materials like carbon fiber, copper and aluminum alloys. From the toughest to the most brittle, we’re able to tackle the most complex cuts across the widest variety of surfaces.

Why would I need Microwaterjet® or MACROWATERJET?
In many cases, the parts we produce cannot be cut in any other way (often due to the combination of features and material type). If our customers were to use an alternative method like wire EDM or laser cutting, they would often have to post-process their parts to remove slag or a recast layer. Microwaterjet® and MACROWATERJET technologies eliminate those requirements, saving you time and cost.
Can the Microwaterjet® and MACROWATERJET cut any material?
We can safely and precisely cut almost any material—such as glass, plastics, ceramics or metal alloys— using our technologies. We are also adept at cutting a wide variety of exotic materials.
How does the Microwaterjet® and MACROWATERJET cutting speed compare to conventional waterjet cutting?
The conventional waterjet may not be able to accommodate exceptionally fine features. That’s not the case with Microwaterjet® and MACROWATERJET. Although our cutting speed is somewhat slower than the conventional method, its finer cutting stream and abrasive ensure a higher level of precision.
How does the Microwaterjet® and MACROWATERJET improve the prototyping process?
We 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.
