What is waterjet cutting?
Waterjet cutting uses a high-pressure stream of water, often combined with abrasive material, to cut through a wide variety of materials. Unlike heat-based cutting methods, waterjet cutting does not create a heat-affected zone, helping preserve material structure and appearance.
That makes it useful for thick materials, heat-sensitive materials, complex profiles, smooth curves, detailed patterns, beveled cuts, and large-format parts.
Large projects
Take on substantial material sizes with a 10-foot by 20-foot work envelope.
Material flexibility
Support metals, composites, glass, and other materials after project confirmation.
Custom applications
Ideal for prototypes, industrial components, signage, art, and architectural elements.
Ideal waterjet cutting applications
Precision machine parts, brackets, plates, fixtures, and custom industrial pieces.
Decorative panels, metal accents, building components, and large-format design features.
Intricate shapes, signage, displays, custom art, and one-off creative projects.
Accurate prototypes and early-stage components where flexibility and precision matter.
Thicker material projects where laser cutting may not be the best fit.
Beveled edges, curved components, and 3D-style cutting requirements.
Waterjet cutting questions
What makes waterjet cutting different from laser cutting?
Waterjet cutting uses high-pressure water and abrasive cutting power instead of heat, so it avoids a heat-affected zone and can be a strong fit for thick, complex, or heat-sensitive materials.
Can you cut large parts?
Yes. The waterjet cutting table measures 10 feet by 20 feet, allowing St. Louis Water Jet to support large panels, industrial parts, architectural elements, signage, and custom oversized work.
What project details help with a quote?
Material type, thickness, dimensions, quantity, drawings or CAD files, tolerance or edge requirements, and timeline all help the team review the project efficiently.
