Waterjet cutting technology is appropriate for many types of flexible material: We are happy to check in advance whether or not your material can be cut using this eco-friendly waterjet cutting technology – at no additional cost to you, of course.
Send us a sample of your material with details of your requirements or a cutting file. We will do your cutting, no obligation. You will then get the cut material back from us – together with a report on our findings. This avoids any frustrating extra work for you.
Find out in advance if waterjet cutting technology is right for you – free of charge and without any obligation.
Cutting with water jet - in the imagination a dirty business, where metal, glass or and stone is cut with water and sand. Who does not know the pictures of the smallest watch movements, cut with water jet and abrasive materials, like sand?
That is abrasive water jet cutting, but we do not deal with that.
(Pure) waterjet cutting machines use the process in which fresh water cuts by compression alone, i.e. pressure. Clean and pure.
And this is how it works:
Water is forced at very high pressure, 3,800 bar - 6,000 bar, through a very fine and narrow nozzle. The resulting high speed (kinetic energy) accelerates the water to about 1,000 meters per second.
In other words, the combination of water forced through a small opening at high pressure produces a very fine jet that cuts the (flexible) material with very high energy with an accuracy of approx. +/- 0.1 mm.
In a nutshell, the difference between the two methods is the application:
Abrasive water jet for harder materials
&
Pure water jet for flexible, so called bending-flabby materials.
Cutting with waterjet - does the material get completely wet and have to dry for days?
Waterjet cutting technology is a very precise technology. The material becomes "wet" at the cutting edge through contact with the water. After cutting, the material is "lip wet". Within a very short time, the material dries completely without any change in the material!
A special feature of expert waterjet cutting machines is that they operate with extreme precision and cutting speed without changing the properties of the material to be cut. Numerous advantages compared with mechanical cutting such as:
- Minimal water consumption
- Less frequent tool changes
- Extremely wear-resistant cutting base
combined with minimal operating costs, make this technology cost-efficient and eco-friendly.
Advantages of (pure) waterjet cutting technology
- Precision
smallest cutting gap 0.08 mm | part accuracy +/- 0.1 mm | any shape can be contour cut (from 0.08 mm) - Flexibility
Faster material or geometry changes due to short set-up times - Efficient material savings
The water jet does not require any gaps (buffers) between the parts. Material savings potential (sustainability) - Combined work steps
The ideal solution is to combine the waterjet and a further manufacturing step (milling) in one process - Extended application possibilities
The angle cut is another option. For example when processing foam plastics
Benefits
- Cut the most difficult contours
- Use maximum material
- Higher productivity through high cutting speed (capacity)

What our customers say - Material glass fiber
"The key to the decision to buy a waterjet cutter was an extensive testing phase at expert to push the demonstration machine to the limit. This test was carried out by expert with us free of charge.
The prejudices against waterjet cutting technology, possible residual moisture and thus possible mold formation were completely dispelled. Cut material (glass fiber mats) was taken away for testing and sealed in cardboard boxes at the company for weeks. No mold formed even after several weeks.
We quickly decided to buy a water jet cutter. The cutter has been running permanently ever since.
expert was always available and is very helpful; although no service and maintenance contract was signed. The service is very good, also the spare parts supply and accessibility."
