Waterjet Cutting Services

Waterjet cutting is a precision material cutting process that uses a high-pressure stream of water, often mixed with abrasive particles, to cut through metals, composites, plastics, and other materials without generating heat.

Key Features

  • Cold cutting process – eliminates heat-affected zones and warping

  • Capable of cutting thick and thin materials with tight tolerances

  • Can cut complex shapes and intricate patterns directly from CAD drawings

  • Minimal material waste due to precise cutting

Applications in Ship Repair

  • Steel, stainless steel, copper-nickel, and aluminum plate fabrication

  • Cutting of structural components, hull sections, bulkheads, and decks

  • Custom brackets, supports, and fitting fabrication

  • Retrofit and repair components with precise replacement parts

Applications in Commercial Use

  • Precision cutting of custom metal parts for construction, and manufacturing

  • Fabrication of brackets, flanges, and mounting plates for equipment installation

  • Architectural and decorative metalwork with intricate designs

  • Cutting of gaskets, rubber, and composite materials for industrial applications

  • Production of replacement parts where OEM lead times are long

Advantages

  • High precision and repeatability for complex shapes

  • Maintains material integrity – no heat distortion or metallurgical changes

  • Reduces post-cutting finishing work

  • Can handle thick and hard-to-machine metals efficiently
