Our network of partner machine shops often find great value in “hogging out” or cutting down larger pieces of material to help cut down the manufacturing times on in house machines.
One of the reasons waterjet is great for different parts is explained through its versatility. VYKAN specializes in cutting stainless steel fabrication, copper fabrication, brass fabrication, aluminum fabrication and more!
Waterjet has a number of different benefits when looking at creating parts for fabrication. When used as the primary process, waterjet can make the secondary fabrication easy due to its cold cutting process. You can find our more about how this works here!
Metal fabrication can sometimes have some complicated drafting. Combined this with timely set ups, and project budget can get eaten up pretty quickly. Machine shops that utilize waterjet can limit these set up times and quickly switch jobs and materials. Find out more about our machine shop here!
