WATERJET CUTTING
 
Waterjet technology - a computerized cold cutting technology that can cut most materials into any two dimensional shape. Marble, granite, porcelain, ceramic, vinyl, and all metals are excellent materials for waterjet process. Its cutting is a clear cold process that does not heat, harden, or distort metals. It cleanly and efficiently cuts stone, ceramics, and porcelains.
 
The customer submits a drawing, blueprint, or electronic file. Stone Source engineers then scan, digitize, or load the file or drawings with AutoCad.

 

 
 

 

    
Waterjet is an important breakthrough in fabrication methods for both industrial and architectural applications. Depending on the material, thickness and intricacy of the cut, the savings compared to traditional cutting methods can be substantial. Its cutting has significant advantages over competing cutting methods, such as routers, plasma torch, laser cutting and electrical discharge machining (EDM).
 
Waterjet allows for complex and difficult shapes such as inside corners, notches, architectural and artistic shapes, to be cut with equal ease and with a high level of accuracy and precision. As this is a CAD driven process, it also offers the capability of repeatability, not available with most other cutting methods. It can be used for cutting composites and plastics that cannot tolerate heat, mechanical damage or delimitation.
