[DRAYTON VALLEY, 02/14/2018] — Various options are available when it comes to cutting hard materials, and one of these options is waterjet cutting. Compared to other cutting techniques, waterjet cutting like ones from Advantage Manufacturing Ltd., has two main advantages: versatility and simplicity.

The Versatility of Waterjet

According to an article by Engineering.com, one of the primary strengths of waterjet technology is versatility. Waterjet can cut a wide range of materials, such as fiberglass, aluminum, stainless steel, and tungsten. Moreover, it performs nearly the same in almost any material. Thus, the versatility of waterjet is unparalleled, in both thickness and material.

Waterjet Cutting vs Other Cutting Methods

The article illustrates the simplicity of waterjet by comparing it to other cutting techniques like laser cutting. When one matches up waterjet cutting with laser cutting, the former would have the upper hand. Laser, for instance, would have difficulty processing yellow metals like copper as well as reflective materials like aluminum.

Waterjet, on the other hand, can cut these materials effectively. Thus, materials and material thicknesses that are tough or even impossible to process with a laser do not pose much difficulty with a waterjet.
