Waterjet Cutting for Multiple Materials

Fabricating & Metal Work

That makes it a cost-effective choice for projects ranging from iterative prototypes to low-to-medium volume production. Third, because waterjet cutters are computer-controlled, a fabricator can use an engineer’s computer-aided design (CAD) file to create a computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) file that controls the machine with precision.
