Waterjet Cutting
Precision Waterjet Cutting Services
At Denver WaterJet, we provide industry-leading waterjet cutting services, delivering exceptional precision, fast turnaround times, and the ability to cut virtually any substrate. While many shops rely primarily on laser systems, our advanced waterjet cutting technology allows us to cut thicker materials, specialty composites, and heat-sensitive substrates that lasers simply can’t handle.
Materials We Work With
One of the biggest differentiators of our waterjet cutting services is our ability to cut nearly any material to meet your project goals:
- Mild Steel
- Stainless Steel
- Aluminum
- Brass
- Copper
- Carbon Fiber
- Fiberglass
- G10
- Insulation/Foam
- Specialty Substrate Materials
Plastics & Polymers
- Plastics
- Rubbers
- Industrial polymers
Our Waterjet Cutting Capabilities
Our versatile and flexible waterjet cutting operation allows us to accommodate customer needs and specific requirements. Our cutting edge waterjet cutting equipment allows us to work on:
- Profiles up to 5’ x 10’
- Materials up to 10 inches thick
- Intricate prototype components to large-scale production runs
We cut at pressures up to 48,000 PSI, allowing us to achieve tight tolerances and clean edges across a wide range of materials. We utilize a 4,500 lb vacuum lift system to load your material onto our waterjet cutting surface, protecting delicate polished material from damage.
The Waterjet Cutting Process
The expert design engineers and operators will partner with you at each step of the process, ensuring your finished product meets your exact specifications.
1. Design & Engineering
Our design engineers will partner with you to develop and refine your product design when needed. Customers can provide:
- CAD Files
- Existing Drawings
- Physical Samples
- Simple Napkin Sketches
2. Precision Waterjet Cutting
Our waterjet cutting equipment operates at 48,000 PSI, delivering tolerances typically within:
- ±.002” to ±.003” on tighter features
- Up to ±.010” depending on geometry and material
Our equipment configuration and cutting process allow us to meet tight customer timeline needs.
3. Reduced Lead Times
Located in Denver, NC, we serve both local and national customers. We maintain a consistent stock of high quality materials at our facility, reducing material sourcing times, and ship directly to our customers, reducing long lead times. We run two shifts on our waterjet cutting equipment and can work to accommodate emergency, immediate customer needs.
The Benefits of Waterjet Cutting
Our waterjet cutting services offer unmatched versatility and eliminate the risk of scorching the material’s surface, which is essential when parts require additional machining, tapping, or countersinking after cutting.
Waterjet cutting offers several benefits over laser cutting including:
- No heat-affected zone
- Cuts virtually any substrate
- Ideal for thick plate and specialty materials
- Preserves polished and finished surfaces
