Materials Compatible with Waterjet Cutters

The WAZER Pro and WAZER Desktop waterjet cutters offer versatile solutions for working with a wide range of materials, from metals and glass to plastics, composites, and rubbers. Although both machines share the same cutting technology, they have key differences in terms of maximum thickness capacity, cutting speed, and drilling times.

The following comparison table clearly and systematically summarizes the thickness limits and drilling time ranges for each material on both models, helping to evaluate which option best fits the needs of each project. You can also find a cutting calculator and a detailed table by material category and type on the manufacturer's website.

Sectors Using Waterjet Technology

Aerospace Industry: ideal for creating functional prototypes and parts in advanced materials such as carbon composites or aerospace-grade aluminum. It enables faster design and testing cycles without relying on external suppliers.

Automotive: manufacturing custom components for high-performance vehicles, metal parts for restorations, plastic part prototyping, and cutting rubber gaskets with maximum precision.

Manufacturing and Production: perfect for companies looking for on-demand production of metal, plastic, or ceramic parts. The ability to cut different materials on the same machine streamlines processes and reduces operational costs.

Success Stories: How WAZER Transforms Production

AutoXross Motorsport – On-Demand Production of Racing Parts

AutoXross Motorsport, a specialist in racing cars for the National Hot Rod Circuit in Europe, integrated WAZER to improve its manufacturing process. By combining digital CAD design and waterjet cutting, the company was able to produce complex aluminum, fiberglass, and carbon fiber parts directly in its workshop with speed, precision, and repeatability. This allowed them to manufacture everything from technical oil pans with circular flow to aluminum patterns for plasma and custom cockpit components, significantly reducing costs and labor hours. WAZER enabled them to iterate designs twice as fast and create parts previously impossible to produce, enhancing overall vehicle quality and contributing to their competition success.
