How does waterjet cutting work in construction?

Principles of Water Jet technology

Water jet cutting uses a high-pressure pump and a precision nozzle to direct a stream of water (often mixed with abrasives) onto the material to be cut. This process generates no heat, preventing deformation and maintaining the integrity of the material5,2. Find out more about our technology Water Jet .

Common materials and applications

Natural stone and marble: Ideal for decorative pieces and high-precision structural elements.
Concrete and ceramics: Enables complex and customized cuts for precast and architectural finishes3,6.
Glass and metals: Perfect for installations that require maximum cleanliness and burr-free edges.

Competitive advantages for construction companies

Versatility: Cuts materials of different thicknesses and shapes, from straight lines to complex curves.
No heat or distortion: Ideal for sensitive materials and projects that demand high quality.
Reduced dust and waste: Improves jobsite safety and cleanliness3,7.

Actual use cases

Example 1: Marble cutting for architectural façades

A construction company in Costa Rica turned to Tecnometales CNC Onis to cut custom-shaped marble panels for the facade of a corporate building. Thanks to waterjet cutting, they achieved identical pieces and a flawless finish, without the need for secondary processes.

Example 2: Precast concrete bridge structures

In an infrastructure project, waterjet cutting machines were used to cut concrete blocks with millimeter precision, speeding up installation and reducing material waste. Find out how Maxiem technology powers these results.
