Simple set-up and clamping on a waterjet makes running a single piece or few parts very affordable. Consider calling FluidCut with any short run order. The affordability of water jet cutting allows for ideas or “inventions” to be tried. Simply sketch your idea and send it to us. Your simple idea could make you the next millionaire. Try it.
Large quantities of parts can be cut at FluidCut. Our large capacity 4 jet cutter machine can produce multiple parts at a time reducing the price to you. The programming flexibility of the CNC water jet machine allows for each of the production parts to be made differently without raising the price. Try accomplishing that on a stamping press.
The water jets of FluidCut are able to load large full sized sheets of material. We are capable of cutting material that measures up to 16 feet wide by 30 feet long. This is perfect for projects where the available materials supplied to us are full size sheets. Large architectural details can also be loaded onto the machine and cut with one set-up. This can allow the savings to stay in your pocket.
Anybody who is cutting with a CNC laser should look closely into waterjet cutting. Plasma and laser leave a “burnt” edge. This edge is unattractive. Many parts require a clean surface. The “burnt” edge of metals is hardened and the properties of the material change. This hardened edge is hard to machine and the material often “warps”. Water jet cutting doesn’t introduce heat into the material. There are no heat affected zones (HAZ). Plastic and rubbers can also be cut without any effects from heat.
4”… 8”…10” thick material? It doesn’t matter with water jet cutting. Depending on the material, up to 12” thick material can be cut. What else can cut like this?
Material that is very hard cut or machine is not a problem for FluidCut water jet cutting service. Materials that need special tools to cut or need frequent, expensive tool sharpening or replacement are a perfect match for water jet cutting. FluidCut can easily cut these tough materials.
Cutting parts from material with layers of different properties can be challenging for most cutting processes. Water jets are not affected by these laminates and composites, which are commonly used now because of their amazing qualities.
The ability of the CNC water jet cutting machine to follow intricate details of a complex piece of art and accurately reproduce it is amazing. The true beauty of the artist’s work can be easily transferred to floor tile, stained glass, carpet, metal, rock or any other material. Consider adding pretty design elements to anything you need cut with a water jet.
Water jets are commonly used for cutting signs. Water jets can turn any material you can imagine into a sign. Whether you are a builder of complex signs or you only need a simple sign made call FluidCut for ideas and prices.
There is no need to design glass pieces with straight edges or scribe and “break” glass anymore. Water jets can cut the most detailed shapes from a piece of glass. There are no limits to what design can be cut into glass by a water jet.
Cloth, foam and rubbers that are usually cut with a blade or a die can be easily cut with a water jet. Tearing or stretching of the material is a thing of the past with a water jet.
This short list is to help you realize that FluidCut water jet cutting service can help in many areas. The possibilities of water jet cutting are limitless so please call us with your ideas. We can more than likely cover any and all of your cutting needs.
Waterjet cutting is actually how the bread you buy at the grocery store is sliced and how the diapers on your baby are cut to size. Waterjet cutting can be used to make thousands of identical parts for high volume manufacturing. Or… it can be used to make minor changes to customize mass produced parts without the expense of re-tooling or set-up changes.
Waterjets can also be used to make individual one-of-a-kind items. The nice thing about waterjet is that it can be used to cut any material, into any shape. Artists use waterjet cutting services to help them create individual masterpieces, sign builders use water jet cutting services to help them create signs from plastic, metal, stone, rubber, glass, and the list goes on. House builders and building contractors use water jet cutting services to help them from the beginning of construction with custom cutting of structural pieces of the building frame to the final details of construction like custom mosaic floors and decorative tiles, mirrors and architectural details.
