Waterjet & Plasma Cutting & Profiling
Abrasive Waterjet Cutting is fast, flexible and accurate. It is a unique innovation, where water is pressurized to ultra-high pressures (up to 60000 psi) and then forced through a minute orifice creating a high velocity stream. Abrasive (garnet) is then pulled into the stream and mixed in a ceramic mixing tube.The high pressurized water and abrasive then exit a nozzle at great speed towards the material to be machined. The water allows for the actions and motions of the cutting process and the abrasive aids in the actual cutting.

Plasma Cutting
Plasma cutting is a process that is used to cut steel and other metals using a plasma torch.
In this process, an inert gas (in some units, compressed air) is blown at high speed out of a nozzle; at the same time an electrical arc is formed through that gas from the nozzle to the surface being cut, turning some of that gas to plasma.
The plasma is sufficiently hot to melt the metal being cut and moves sufficiently fast to blow molten metal away from the cut. (Description taken from Wikipedia)
