Advantages of Waterjet Cutting Compared to Laser Cutting

Cut Almost Any Type Of Material

Compared with other fabrication techniques, waterjets can handle just about any material or product that a traditional cutters can. In addition, materials like plastics, rubber, laminated materials, stone, glass, or materials with uneven surfaces can all be handled through waterjet cutting.

No Heat Affected Zone with Waterjet

Since Waterjet cutting does not generate extreme heat it does not change the properties of metal nor causing any thermal distortion. On the other hand this can occur with laser cutting.

Waterjets are Environmentally Friendly

Abrasive Waterjets will typically use garnet as the abrasive material.Garnet is non-reactive that is biologically inert. Waterjets also use much less water than may imagine thanks to its closed-looped system.

Better Tolerances on Thicker Parts

Waterjetting offers better tolerances on parts thicker than 0.5″. Both waterjets and lasers offer comparable tolerances for thinner materials.

Better Edge Finish

Waterjets cut with fine sanded-blasted surface finish, which makes it easier to make a high-quality weld for that part. Laser cut material appears to have a rougher, scaly edge which may require additional work and machining to clean up.

5-Axis Waterjet Cutting

Complex metal parts, especially if the design includes sharp angles and unusual shapes, can be very difficult to cut with extreme precision. Thanks to Pivot+ head, here at Medalco, we can deliver various cuts and finishes plus bevel cutting. With 5-axis head the accuracy of cuts and bevel cuts are so high. We specialize in high quality architectural and industrial cutting of any form of metal or industrial plastic, and can also handle other materials, such as concrete, steel, tile and stone.
