Custom Waterjet Cutting

At Nationwide Architectural Metals, we offer custom waterjet cutting services using state-of-the-art machinery. Our CNC waterjet machines are computer-controlled to direct precise and intricate cuts. We use abrasive waterjet cutting services to quickly cut metal parts from sheet metal using a high-pressure stream of water and abrasive.

Unlike laser or plasma cutting, waterjet cutting tools do not rely on heat, instead, they spray water at three times the speed of sound. The pressurized water stream magnifies the effects of erosion to quickly and cleanly cut metal.

Benefits of Waterjet Cutting

Waterjet cutting is one of many cutting services offered at Nationwide Architectural Metals. We will help you determine which cutting process is best for your project.

For example, waterjet cutting is often preferred for pieces that must fit closely together as it provides close tolerances and creates no mechanical stress, heat distortion or heat-affected zone resulting in the elimination of secondary processing.

Other benefits of waterjet cutting include:

Increased productivity with faster cutting and higher-quality parts
Minimal kerf allowing for exact details
Raw material savings due to reduced scrap
No thermal damage or heat distortion
Secondary finishing not required
Tight tolerances achieved while cutting materials
Cuts through thick or stacked material
Reuse of water solution results in a more environmentally friendly cutting practice

Waterjet cutting can be used in thicknesses ranging from ¼ inch to 8 inches. It is ideal for a wide range of metals including:

Mild Steel
Aluminum
Titanium
Inconel
Brass
Tool Steel
Nickel alloy
Copper
Stainless steel
Bronze
