Abrasive Waterjet Cutting… Yes, any material up to 8″ thick. Waterjet Cutting
is the most Versitile method for cutting a wide variety of materials.
Where the Laser capabilities stop the Waterjet has just begun.

Just send us your Design. Whether it be by Phone, Fax, or Email.
As long as we understand what you want, we can cut it for you.
Material Specification, ask for material certs if needed.
Thickness, .005 to 8″ thick most any material. Up to 12″ thick with some materials.
Submit Engineered Drawing saved out as a .pdf file. .dwg file .dxf file .sldprt

Quantity of parts needed.
Special Instructions that may go along with the project.
Please state whether Waterjet or Laser should be used to cut your parts.
We can help you with that decision, but first we need to know some Key requirements for your project.
Will there be a problem with a heat effected zone? In short, Laser cutting leaves a burnt edge while the Waterjet does not.
Are your parts over 1″ thick? Maximum thickness on our Laser is 1″. Yet the Waterjet goes up to 12″ on some materials.
Typically the Waterjet cuts slower than the Laser and that equals higher cutting cost on the Waterjet.
Laser is King on Precision, consistent size and location, but the Waterjet produces better edge finish and the kerfs taper can be controlled perpendicular.
Waterjet can cut so many more materials than the Laser. Check out the materials a waterjet can cut.

Dayton Waterjet uses CAD/CAM Software to program our cutting equipment. We need a dxf file. A dxf file is a CAD data file format. ex.(myproject.dxf) Most cad programs can save your drawing as a .dxf file because this is the most common CAD data exchange file for 2D cutting applications. There are free programs that are available on the WEB.
If you can not provide us with the .dxf file, a 2D .dwg file or a step-file for 3D designs would be the our second preference. Dayton Waterjet has Solidworks 2012, if you want to send us the .prt file straight out of Solidworks. We can also create the dxf file ourselves from veiwing PDF files, scanned files or just a faxed drawing.
See the photo. The top section is a dxf file. This is what you would see in the CAD program, just lines and arcs. The bottom is the Waterjet cut Granite. The CNC program used to cut this design was made with a .dxf file.
