Microwaterjet® offers numerous advantages compared to competing processing methods. Depending on the application, Microwaterjet® cutting can deliver substantial time savings while preserving the integrity and quality of the piece being cut. We conducted a direct comparison between Microwaterjet® and Wire EDM on a complex, fragile part.

Microwaterjet® vs. Wire EDM Processing Time

As shown, Microwaterjet® significantly reduces machining time compared to Wire EDM.

Processing a Copper Electrode Structure

The following example showcases the processing of a highly complex copper electrode structure.

Specifications:

Name: Copper Electrode

Material: Copper, non-ferrous

Material Thickness: 1mm

Along with improved processing efficiency, Microwaterjet® ensures part integrity by avoiding the formation of Heat Affected Zones (HAZ).

This opens opportunities to cut materials with virtually no biocompatibility concerns and minimal post-processing. Microwaterjet® also enables stack cutting, with taper influenced by material, thickness, and cutting speed.
