Compared with laser cutting, plasma cutting, electric discharge cutting, wire cutting, and water cutting, water cutting has its unique advantages. As far as metal processing is concerned, water cutting is cold cutting, with no heat-affected zone, no thermal deformation, narrow slits (workpieces can be nested, saving materials to a degree), and high precision during processing. In addition, waterjet cutting is not only used in traditional processing, but also in cutting materials that cannot be completed by other processing equipment, such as glass, ceramics, composite materials, paper, chemical fibers, heat-sensitive materials...

Many people think that laser cutting is far superior to water cutting in terms of cutting speed, but they ignore that laser cutting is limited in thickness. For example, it can only cut metal materials with a thickness of less than 16mm, and there are certain limits on the cutting edge. Heat affected zone. Waterjet cutting is not the case. It can cut materials with a thickness of more than 30mm or even 100mm without any problem, and has no effect on the material itself, and can cut almost any material. Based on these factors, most people who intend to choose laser cutting turn to waterjet cutting.
