The Future of Precision Water Jet Cutting

MICROCUT™ Technology – The Process

We use proprietary waterjet equipment developed in Europe to cut a wide range of materials, including heat sensitive types, with a cutting accuracy of +/-0.0004 in. (0.01mm) and a positioning accuracy of +/-0.0001 in. (0.033mm). This cutting process quickly and accurately removes material to produce a finished piece with little to no burr and no heat deformation. It is an ideal solution for soft materials such as rubber, plastics, or silicone.

With our precision waterjet machining process, there are low occurrences of process forces and thermal stress. With these properties even the most delicate contours can be cut. Due to the small diameter of the cut it is possible to create sharp-edged contours. And, with the cutting diameter being less than 0.012 in.(0.3mm), a very high material efficiently can be achieved.

MICROCUT™ precision waterjet technology offers the following technological advantages:

• Able to cut materials from plastic to hard alloys
• Fast prototype production
• Flexible production, “Just in time” fabrication
• High cutting speeds
• High cutting accuracy
• High surface quality
• Optimal material usage
• Low cutting forces (load)
• No thermal Impact (heat)
• No change in material structure
• Narrow kerf width
• Minimal secondary finishing
