  1. Subtractive Manufacturing

Water Jet

Water jets use high-pressure streams of water—sometimes mixed with abrasive substances—to cut hard materials like metal or granite. This method is ideal for materials that can’t withstand the heat of traditional cutting techniques. Industries such as aerospace and mining use water jets for precise, heat-free cutting that preserves the material’s properties.
