Waterjet Cutting
Waterjet Cutting
Your waterjet cut is only as good as the abrasive you use.
While it’s the combination of technology that creates the cutting process, the abrasive mixed with high-pressure water is what actually completes the supersonic erosion process – the act of cutting.
There are numerous types of abrasive, optimized for different applications and uses. It’s important to find the right match for your cutting requirements and your business.Mineral hardness, density, friability, and particle shape all play an important part in determining the right abrasive material for your waterjet cutting system.
Through years of testing and experience, our team at Shape Mined Materials have selected and engineered a wide range of abrasives specifically for waterjet cutting.
Wondering what kind of abrasive is right for you? We’re prepared to help you make the right selection for your application and your budget.
