CUTTING PROCESSES
We produce our customers’ parts using one of four cutting processes:
waterjet, flashcut, die-cut and hand-cut.
WATERJET
Waterjet cutting allows for the precision cutting of custom parts when
extremely tight tolerances are critical or complicated patterns are called
for. This CNC-controlled process produces parts with exceptional quality
and clean cut edges without causing thermal damage. What’s more, the
waterjet can be used to cut a wide range of materials and dimensions.
HAND-CUT
Hand-cutting is often the right choice for certain limited quantity, lower-
tolerance and prototype parts. Our craftsmen have the skill to produce
prototypes and low-volume production runs from a wide variety of
materials and for a range of industries.
DIE-CUT
Die-cutting results in very precise parts with tight tolerances. It can be
used to produce both low- and high-volume production runs in a wide
range of materials.
FLASHCUT
Die-less knife cutting offers the precision and tight tolerances of a waterjet
without the use of water. The CNC-controlled flashcut operates on AutoCAD
files like a waterjet, and is ideal for cutting soft and semi-rigid materials
without the mess and cleanup of water cutting.
