About us
Founded in 2008, ISO9001 accredited Creative WaterJet are small teams who specialise in the profile cutting of virtually any sheet or plate material up to 350mm thick.
With 4 waterjets (13 cutting heads), 5 tonne lifting capacity and a machine bedsize up to 6m x 4m, we create profiles in metals & plastics without a HAZ (Heat Effected Zone), chemical or mechanical impact.

Why Choose WaterJet Cutting?
WaterJet cutting offers numerous advantages for a wide range of industries and applications.
Costs of WaterJet Cutting
The cost of water jet cutting can vary depending on several factors, including the material being cut, the thickness of the material, the complexity of the design, the size of the project. Here are some general factors that can influence the cost of water jet cutting:
- Material: The processing speeds of metallics are heavily dependant on the material density & hardness. Aluminium for example will cut 3x faster than Steel.
- Thickness: The reduction in speed as the thickness increases is not a linearly straight. 10mm Stainless will cut at 45% of 5mm THK Material.
- Design complexity: The WaterJet exit point trails the entry. Therefore for when there is a change of direction the machine slows down to square up the cutting tool & prevent whipping as it changes direction. This adds to the time & therefore component costs.
- Multi Head Cutting: Creative WaterJet utilise multi-head profiling on most of our machines. Ordering in quantities to suit these machines can offer significant savings. 2,4 & 6 head capacity is available.
- Tolerances: Detailing the tolerances required will allow us to rough cut where secondary milling operations are taking place for example, reducing cost.
- Quantity: There is a set-up time involved with each job. Selecting a common material & thickness across a range of parts will reduce set-up costs & increase material yield.
- Nesting: depending on thickness, components can be nested within 4mm of each other, giving excellent material utilisation.
