Our water jet cutting service is an economical way to cut 2D shapes in a very wide range of materials with no tooling costs. The unique process of CNC waterjet cutting provides reasonably good edge quality without burrs, usually eliminating the need for secondary finishing. Our 2009 Mitsubishi Suprema CNC water jet can cut single or stacked flat materials from as thin as .0625" to as thick as six inches with tolerances run up to 0.003 inches for the best finish.  The process generates no excessive heat so the material edge is unaffected and there is no distortion. The cutting process also yields no poisonous gas when cutting plastics or rubber.

Parts possible with waterjet cutting include 2D shapes with cuts of almost any complexity. Examples of parts that are often produced include:

Our table capacity is approximately 6.5"X 6.5'X 13' with our cutting limits at 6"X 6' X 12'. No custom tooling is normally needed in CNC water jet cutting. Cost reduction options include reduction of total cut times and expensive secondary finishing due to burrs or material imperfections. To cut thicker material economically, we recommend adding stock to the part, a fast cut and secondary finishing. Mac-Mold Base Inc will waterjet cut prototypes or multi-piece production runs.

We can water jet cut almost any material, hard or soft including:

Aluminum Stainless Steel Copper Nylon Steel Acetyl Polycarbonate Polystyrene Fiberglass Brass Carbon fiber Teflon Titanium ABS PVC Sterling Silver

Spring Steel Bronze Rubber Foam Marble Laminates Gasket material Wood Granite Ceramics Glass etc.
