Waterjet vs Other Cutting Technologies
Technology - Comparison
Comparisons Over Traditional Cutting/ Machining Methods
Advantages of Waterjet Cutting Over Laser Cutting
Can cut many materials laser cannot
Gives the same or better tolerances/accuracy
Can cut thicker materials
Makes uniformity of material less important
Advantages of Waterjet Cutting Over EDM Cutting
Is much faster.
Is able to cut wider range of materials.
Makes uniformity of material less important.
Does not heat the surface.
Creates no heat – affected zone.
Advantages of Waterjet Cutting Over Plasma Cutting
Produces a nicer edge finish.
Does not heat the part.
Is more precise.
Advantages of Waterjet Cutting Over Flame-cutting
Produces a nicer edge finish.
Does not heat the part.
Is more precise.
Advantages of Waterjet Cutting Over Milling Cutting
Needs no tool.
Can machine brittle, pre-hardened and difficult materials.
Can produce more parts out of same material.
Advantages of Waterjet Cutting Over Punch Press Cutting
Is better on thick materials.
Is better on brittle materials.
Is better on hardened materials.
