Global Waterjet Cutting Machine Market: Dynamics
Waterjet cutting has emerged as a versatile, cost-effective and accurate alternative to conventional cutting methods such as plasma, milling machines, lasers and EDM for many applications. Waterjet cutting machines find applications in many industries such as metalcutting, automotive, aerospace, defense, semiconductors, disposable products, food, glass, ceramics and paper. This process cuts material without creating heat or any mechanical stress. Waterjet cutting offers certain green benefits as this is a cold cutting process, which eliminates waste and slag deformation. This cutting technology offers great accuracy, productivity and efficiency. That apart, waterjet cutting machines are more economical than laser machines. Abrasive jets are faster than EDM, which removes metal at a comparatively slow rate. In comparison to plasma cutting, waterjets operate at a much lower temperature and there is no heat affected zone while the material is being cut with a waterjet cutting machine. These are some of the factors positively impacting the growth of the waterjet cutting machine market.
