The uses of waterjet technology for the Architecture Industry

Why KMT Waterjet cutting stone, tile, marble, granite is used in fabrication job shops.

waterjet cutting benefits cutting stone, marble, granite and more.

KMT Waterjet’s intensifier pump technology and abrasive waterjet cutting heads have found widespread application in the architectural industry.

From Granite to Marble: KMT Waterjet Shapes Stone.

Precision Waterjet Cutting: Waterjet technology offers high precision, enabling intricate and detailed architectural designs to be realized with accuracy.

Versatility: Waterjet cutting, powered by KMT Waterjet, will cut marble, granite, porcelain, metals, glass, stone, ceramics, and composites, providing many new ideas in design and construction.

Minimal Material Waste: The precision of waterjet cutting results in minimal material wastage, optimizing material usage and reducing costs.

Clean Cuts: Waterjet cutting produces smooth, burr-free edges, enhancing the aesthetics of architectural elements, including no secondary finishing.

Environmentally Friendly: Waterjet cutting is a clean and sustainable process, producing minimal waste and emissions compared to traditional cutting methods, aligning with green building practices.

Complex Geometry: Waterjet cutting can easily handle complex shapes and intricate patterns, including five-axis mitering of stone materials, enabling the creation of unique architectural features and decorative elements.

WATERJET ADVANTAGES FOR CUTTING FIBER CEMENT BOARD (FCB) CLADDING

Using KMT waterjet systems to cut fiber cement board cladding for siding in the architectural industry offers precision cutting without generating heat, which prevents damage to the material.

Additionally, waterjet cutting reduces dust and particulate emissions, enhancing workplace safety and environmental compliance.

SUBSTANTIAL COST SAVINGS | No tooling, blade sharpening or changing blades–no production line down time
BETTER PRODUCT QUALITY | Uniform surface and cleaner, sharper edge quality–no material distortion
HIGHER EFFICIENCY | Bridge mounted cutting heads slit material instead of moving material under blades
GREATER FLEXIBILITY | Cuts all standard & custom thicknesses and can create intricate decorative designs
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY | Clean water cutting with no dust expelled into the air
INCREASED PRODUCTION | Waterjet cuts faster with multiple head slitting and cross-cutting capabilities
FAST INTEGRATION | Easy retrofit to existing blade cutting production lines

Mosaic Creation

Waterjet machines cut small stone pieces with intricate shapes and patterns for mosaic artwork.
This method allows for precise shaping of individual mosaic tiles.

Sink and Faucet Openings

Stone fabricators utilize waterjet machines to create precise openings for sinks, faucets, and other fixtures in countertops and vanity tops, including using the saw/jet table.

Custom Cutting

Waterjet machines excel at cutting materials of various sizes and shapes from stone, ceramic, granite, plexiglass, glass, carpet, and more.

Inlays and Medallions

Waterjet machines are utilized to cut stone pieces for inlays and medallions in flooring, walls, and other architectural elements.

How to cut stone, marble, granite, and porcelain with KMT Waterjet
