Computer-assisted water-jet cutting involves applying the water at a very high speed and under very high pressure (4000 bars) through a nozzle in order to cut various materials with a high degree of precision.

Cutting with pure water makes it possible to cut fairly soft materials, like elastomers, graphite, mica, jointing sheets, etc.

Cutting with abrasive-loaded water makes it possible to cut much harder materials, such as metal (up to 80 mm thickness) and various reinforcing materials.
