Waterjet machines are an essential tool for leading metal fabricators, as they have the ability to cut all metals, such as; hardened tool steel, aluminum, titanium, copper, brass, and other exotic metals easily. The cold cutting process that takes place during machine operation eliminates heat zones that often causes changes of chemical and mechanical attributes within the product. Cutting metal parts submerged in the bed of water also increases the safety within the workshop, as dust particles & metal filaments are instantly caught by the Waterjet cutting bed.
Waterjet cutting is not only the preferred choice because of its safety and finishing features, but its ability to be able to cut up to twelve inches (300mm) of steel. This benefit gives metal fabricators more design freedom when quoting projects and speeds up their production line, making their workshops more efficient when completing a project. The Waterjet machine produces an extremely smooth and clean cut. The edge quality allows for secondary operations, such as tapping of holes, milling of features, or welding of edges to be quickly and simply performed without any further preparation.

Cut through metal without pre-drilled holes
Minimal secondary finishing
No Heat-Affected Zones
Cut any material, shape, size or thickness without a tool change
Waterjet cutting machines are becoming one of the most versatile and preferred machines around the world for precise cutting of both natural and man made stones. The waterjet’s ability to cleanly cut stones like Granite, Marble, Porcelain, Dekton, Ceaserstone & Neolith overcomes the issues that come with less advanced, traditional cutting methods. Using drills, saws and milling cutters on hard abrasive stones is slow and expensive due to the wear and tear of expensive cutting tools. Waterjet typically produces a more precise cut, due to the fact it requires no force to be exerted onto the material, unlike cutting blades and tools which exert a lot of force on the stone, especially when mitering on 45-degree angles. Additionally, the risks associated with silica in man-made stones are eliminated due to the wet cutting process that our waterjet machines use.
Our Waterjet machines help you save on costs, but you also save time due to the highly intelligent Softec software. Our all in one computer-based software gives you the freedom to complete complex cutting patterns such as finished sink and tap holes in one simple operation. You can use a CAD design or choose from our library of pre-loaded configurations to easily bring your stone from concept to finished part.

Our waterjet machines are ideally used for cut-outs, holes in splashbacks, frameless showers, mirrors and all architectural applications when applied to glass. As waterjet cutting is so often used on glass, a wide range of Glass industry-standard shapes are already pre-programmed into our waterjet cutting software. As with all materials, when applied to glass Techni Waterjet® Cutters produce exceptional edge quality ensuring that little to no additional treatment is required.
Techni Waterjet® has developed a range of material handling devices to make loading and un-loading of glass onto the machine a quick, simple and safe exercise.

Today many composites come in many forms such as Fibreglass. Being such a delicate and lightweight material other cutting processes would often cause cracking, burrs and other imperfections within the fibreglass material. Abrasive waterjet cutting eliminates all the above with its super precise and fast cold cutting process. The abrasive material delicately cuts through the Fibre glass material without the risk of heat zones keeping the material in prime condition from start to finish.
The abrasive stream produced by our waterjet machines when cutting fibreglass and carbon fibres can be as thin as 0.1mm. This finely focused stream of abrasive water, cuts reliably and precisely in any direction to incredible detail. Commonly used on boat shells, personal watercraft bodies, panel insulations and home insulations, waterjet technology is proving to be the advantage in many workshops around the globe.
No melting, dust or fumes
Efficient and cost-effective
Highly accurate cutting
Low wastage
The exceptional quality and safety benefits of using Waterjet cutting technology are what truly sets this cutting method above the rest when used on rubber and composites. This cold cutting process is chosen by many large manufacturers of composites and plastics around the world because there is no risk of highly toxic and hazardous fumes being produced. This process also contributes to a high quality of consistent product finishing as no heat zones affect the material that is being cut.
Workshop efficiency and production line productivity are increased with a method known as stacking. Up to eight inches of material can be stacked at the one time and can be cut with the same accuracy as if there was only one inch of material on the bed. Our waterjet machines can cut foam, rubber, plastic, insulation or any woven material including fabrics, sports lettering, diapers, feminine and health care products.
No melting, dust or fumes
Stack up to 8 inches

Using Techni Waterjet® systems improves every aspect of food processing from the sanitation levels to a boost in speed and cutting consistency. Adding a waterjet machine to your fleet will improve the production line of hand cutting equivalent of up to eight people. As waterjet cutting does not require blades there is no need for any maintenance, sharpening or cleaning of the machine.
From meat processing to vegetable slicing and the manufacturing of snack and cake products, our waterjet system excels at cutting consistently across all food types. Due to the technique that waterjet cutters use during the cutting process, there is less cell damage caused to foods which increases the shelf life. As there is no need for knives or other shape cutting tools the safety of all workers in food processing facilities increases drastically.
