Waterjet Cutting • Charlottetown

Waterjet Cutting in Charlottetown, PEI

Waterjet cutting uses a high-pressure stream of water - often mixed with abrasive garnet - to cut virtually any material without heat-affected zones. Canadian waterjet shops cut metals up to 200mm thick, composites, ceramics, stone, and glass with no thermal distortion. It's the go-to process when material integrity matters.

Waterjet Cutting in Charlottetown: FAQ

What materials can waterjet cutting handle?
Waterjet cuts virtually any material - metals (steel, aluminum, titanium, Inconel), composites (carbon fiber, Kevlar), stone, glass, ceramics, rubber, foam, and plastics. The only common exception is tempered glass, which shatters under the cutting stream.
How does waterjet cutting compare to laser cutting?
Waterjet produces no heat-affected zone, making it ideal for heat-sensitive materials like titanium, composites, and hardened steels. It also cuts much thicker materials - up to 200mm vs 25mm for fiber lasers. Laser cutting is faster on thin sheet metal and offers tighter tolerances on materials under 6mm.
What tolerances can Canadian waterjet shops achieve?
Standard tolerances are +/- 0.25mm. Precision work with dynamic taper compensation achieves +/- 0.05mm. 5-axis heads eliminate the natural taper that occurs in thick material cutting, improving edge quality significantly.
Is waterjet cutting cost-effective for production runs?
Yes for medium volumes, especially on thick or heat-sensitive materials where alternatives are limited. No tooling costs, fast setup, and multi-head machines allow nesting of hundreds of parts per sheet. For thin sheet metal in high volumes, laser cutting is typically more cost-effective.
