What are the advantages over plasma and laser cutting systems?

Speed: Waterjet cutting can be faster than many conventional methods. Materials which can be cut include heavy marble, as thick as five inches and one inch plate glass.

Heat/Distortion: Waterjets produce no heat. This means that your material does not distort or become ragged at the edges and the integrity of the material is maintained throughout. Waterjet cutting also produces a smoother cut and a narrower kerf, meaning less waste

Environment: Waterjet cutting systems produce no environmentally unsafe by-products. Water and abrasives are captured in a receiving tank and recycled.

Materials: A waterjet system is the ideal cutting solution for many materials. Titanium, brass, aluminum, and stainless steel are only a few examples of the wide range of materials that a water-jet system can cut.

Accuracy & Repeatability: Waterjet cutting enables repeatable cuts with accuracy as close as ±0.005 inches.

Material Thickness: Here the capabilities of waterjet cutting far outperform other cutting systems. Imagine a slab of marble 5 inches thick, or stainless steel 3 inches thick.
