Thanks to its flexibility and reliability<\/strong>, no heat-affected zone, no secondary finishing,<\/strong> waterjet technology is suitable for both large nesting productions as well as small series and complex specialized applications. Every day, innovative companies are discovering new applications for waterjet cutting, extending their production capacities and increasing their efficiency and profits.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Laser cutting requires the need of expertise, limitations to materials and thickness, second operations, costs up to twice as much as waterjet and emits hazardous fumes—<\/strong>the thermal cutting method makes material melt, resulting in emitted gases and dangerous fumes. These are all things to consider before turning to laser cutting.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
