When waterjet cutting technology was developed, its use was limited to cutting soft materials such as paper and rubber. But water jet cutting soon found success, as it cut materials with superior results compared to many alternative cutting methods.<\/p>\n

No one might have imagined what waterjet cutting would be capable of decades later. In this day and age, waterjet cutting<\/a> can do much more than cutting materials.<\/p>\n

Besides being able to pierce even steel, waterjet cutting can even create intricate designs in any materials.<\/p>\n

For instance, you might have seen beautiful geometric shapes in stones such as marble. These are created with the help of water jet cutting.<\/p>\n

The development of this cutting technique led to 5-axis waterjet cutting. This article explores 5-axis waterjet cutting and how it can benefit your business.<\/p>\n

What is 5-axis Waterjet Cutting?<\/h2>\n

Traditional cutting methods, including early waterjet cutters, were limited to 3-axis working. These axes were the X axis, Y axis, and Z axis. These enabled the waterjet cutting tools to create linear cuts in any material as required.<\/p>\n

However, fabricators realized that waterjet cutting was a vast field with many applications. What if an application requires complex cutting? In addition to straight-line cutting, would waterjet cutting machines handle bevels, contouring, chamfering, and more? And so, 5-axis waterjet cutting was born.<\/p>\n
