Key industry data
75% of errors on construction sites are due to incorrectly manufactured parts. Waterjet cutting, one of the advanced waterjet cutting services, prevents thermal deformation and reduces waste by up to 30%1.
Discover how waterjet cutting is revolutionizing the construction industry in our comprehensive guide.
Advantages of waterjet cutting
Precision without deformation
Waterjet cutting ensures accuracy down to 0.1 mm without applying heat or altering the material’s structure. This is ideal for metal components that require precise assembly with minimal tolerance.
Process acceleration
Waterjet systems enable the simultaneous cutting of multiple parts, thereby reducing production times and enhancing responsiveness to urgent job demands.
Material versatility
This method cuts metal, stone, ceramics, glass, aluminum, and more without breaking or altering edges. It is perfect for decorative finishes or technical elements with special shapes.
