With a population of over 2.7 million people, Chicago is a hub of industry, art, and innovation, and custom waterjet cutting is a valuable tool for these industries. Waterjets ensure that delamination, rough edges, and HAZ are eliminated, making it the best choice over laser cutting. At SendCutSend, we pick the best cutting process based on your project needs.
SendCutSend uses the best cutting method for your parts, including high power fiber lasers for metals (from 4kW to 12kW+), CO2 lasers for plastics, CNC routers for wood, and CNC waterjets for composites such as carbon fiber.
We’re able to make incredibly accurate cuts with tolerances of +/- .005″ or better on aluminum, steel, copper, stainless steel, brass, acrylic, carbon fiber, wood and more (over 165 materials in stock).
Waterjet is capable of highly intricate cuts with tolerances of +-.009” (.25mm) or better in composite materials.
Expect tolerances of +-.009” (.25mm) or better in composite materials.
The combination of water speed, pressure, nozzle size and abrasive flow rate allow waterjet cutting to produce a superior edge quality compared to laser cutting.
When your parts are waterjet cut there’s virtually no HAZ (heat-affected zone).
The combination of water speed, pressure, nozzle size and abrasive flow rate allow waterjet cutting to produce a superior edge quality compared to laser cutting.
The crushed garnet in the waterjet stream acts like a belt sander, slowly abrading away the material, leaving a very smooth edge. Dross and burr commonly found in other cutting methods is effectively eliminated.
