Waterjet Cutting Services at MET Manufacturing

Since 1988, MET Manufacturing has delivered precision sheet metal and non-metal fabrication services across industries like aerospace, automotive, electronics, and medical devices. Our ISO 9001:2015 certification and RoHS compliance demonstrate our commitment to quality and environmental responsibility.

Waterjet cutting is a signature service at MET. It stands out for producing clean, stress-free edges while protecting a material’s natural strength and properties. Unlike laser and plasma methods, waterjet cutting uses a cold process, helping preserve the integrity of every part.

What is Waterjet Cutting?

Waterjet cutting harnesses a powerful stream of water mixed with special abrasives. This combination slices through nearly any material—from soft plastics to 4-inch thick titanium—without causing heat distortion or altering structural qualities.

Our waterjet process excels at:

  • Completed designs with complex internal features
  • Differences in material thickness
  • Maintaining tolerances as tight as ±0.005”

From one-off prototypes to production runs, waterjet technology ensures your project is built exactly as you envision.

MET’s Waterjet Equipment and Capabilities

MET’s shop floor features two state-of-the-art waterjet cutters: Omax 55100 and Omax 5555. These industry-leading machines offer large bed sizes—up to 6 feet—accommodating big or multi-material sheets with ease.

Quick setup and advanced CAD/CAM integration mean efficient, repeatable, and precise parts every time.

We can also handle your finishing needs:

  • Deburring
