Cutting Stone, Tiles & Ceramic with Water Jet Cutters
Ideal for architectural design and artistic work using small-scale stone, tile & ceramics
Cut thick granite, marble, sandstone, porcelain, tiles, concrete, gypsum plasterboards, insulation materials and mosaics into different shapes for architectural designs like floors, walls, ceilings and counters as well as artistic work with water jet cutters.
The abrasive waterjet’s unique ability is to be able to cut very complicated designs at high speed without breakage. Due to the low ductility of stones and tiles, it is vital to make starting holes for the openings by using as little pressure as possible. The stepless increase or decrease in cutting pressure is therefore extremely useful when cutting brittle materials such as stone and ceramics, so material damage can be avoided. The technology opens up a wide range of possibilities both in terms of shape, as well as in the combination of materials such as inlays made of stone and metal, or tile and glass.
Water Jet Sweden waterjet cutting machines are used all over the world in applications spanning from comprehensive architectural structures and specific interior design elements to unique installations of public art.
