shaping-manufacturing-processes > 2D Water Jet Cutting

This process involves the cutting of plate metal using a concentrated Water Jet containing suspended abrasives, that is CNC controlled – machines may be multi-head for increased production rate or just a single Water Jet cutting head.

The limiting factor with 2 Dimensional or 2 Axis cutting is the inability to "shape" or bevel the sides of the profile by design. Therefore cut edges are "straight" within cutting tolerances, and finished profiles are flat.
