What Is WaterJet Cutting?

Waterjet cutting is SendCutBend’s primary service, and for good reason. It’s a precise, versatile cutting method that works across a far wider range of materials and thicknesses than laser or plasma cutting, without the heat damage that comes with either.

Waterjet cutting uses an ultra-high-pressure stream of water, with or without abrasive material mixed in, to cut through a wide range of materials. Because it’s a cold-cutting process, no heat is generated during cutting.

Why Choose SendCutBend for WaterJet Cutting?

Clean, smooth edges with no thermal distortion or metallurgical changes
Wide material compatibility, from metals to engineering plastics
No minimum order quantity, whether you need one part or a batch

More About Waterjet Cutting

Large-Format Capability

Our waterjet cutting capacity covers everything from small, intricate parts to large-format sheet cutting, supported by multiple cutting heads running simultaneously. That means faster turnaround on high-volume orders and the ability to nest multiple parts efficiently from a single sheet, without compromising on precision.

Abrasive WaterJet

Water mixed with a fine abrasive material to cut hard materials including metals and other dense materials. Capable of cutting substantial thicknesses with a clean, consistent edge.

Pure WaterJet

Water only, with no abrasive, used for softer materials such as foams, plastics, rubber, and textiles. Produces an extremely narrow cut with very little material loss.

Materials We Cut

We cut a broad range of metals and engineering plastics using waterjet, including aluminium alloys, copper, brass, stainless steel, and a selection of engineering plastics. Available in a wide range of thicknesses.

Abrasive waterjet mixes fine abrasive material into the water stream to cut hard materials such as metals. Pure waterjet uses water alone and is suited to softer materials like foams, rubber, and some plastics.

No. Waterjet cutting is a cold-cutting process, so it doesn’t generate heat. This means there’s no heat-affected zone and no change to the metallurgical or mechanical properties of the material, unlike laser or plasma cutting.

We cut a wide range of metals, including aluminium alloys, copper, brass, and stainless steel, as well as a selection of engineering plastics. Visit our Materials page for the full list.

No. Order a single part or a larger batch, whatever your project requires.

Yes. Zinc coating, powder coating, and anodising (for aluminium) are all available as add-on finishing services.
