WATERJET CUTTING MACHINE MARKET ANALYSIS

Strict environmental regulations have increased the cost of using these machines as they require expensive abrasives and produce harmful waste. Additionally, the precision of waterjet machines has made it difficult to cut certain dense and intricate materials. The need for well-trained operators further raises expenses. Due to their lower cutting speed compared to laser machines, waterjets are not ideal for high-volume production. The market must overcome these cost and efficiency obstacles to expand.

As additives are enabling waterjets to cut an even wider array of materials. These machines find applications in more industries like mining, aerospace, and automotive. Their non-thermal cutting technology allows for sensitive materials to be cut without damage. With advancements to improve speed and precision, waterjets can take on more roles previously done by lasers.
