Precise waterjet cutting for wood

Whether solid wood, plywood or MDF – waterjet cutting enables precise contours without fraying. Even complex geometries and fine structures are produced in a material-friendly manner.

Why waterjet cutting excels with wood

Clean cutting edges

No fraying, no splintering, no burnt edges.

Detailed shapes

Delicate contours and complex designs can be executed with high precision.

Gentle processing

No thermal effect the natural structure of the wood remains unchanged.

Manufacturing process

How a drawing becomes a high-precision part – step by step to the finished result.

Drawing

Technical CAD drawing of fine lettering made of Zebrano wood

Continuous lettering with tight internal radii and fine contours – tolerance requirement ± 0.1 mm.
