Famatech services – general properties
- A most complete process, waterjet cutting offers both high precision and minimum material loss for almost any line of application.
- It is used in almost all industrial fields and allows working with a wide range of materials and thicknesses. It offers unlimited posibilities for the final product’s shape: any profile can be obtained, any configuration, at the highest quality according to any requirement.
- Using a pure water jet, at a pressure and a speed adapted to each type of material, or an abrasivejet, waterjet cutting represents a complete technique, suited both for ferrous and non-ferrous materials due to the fact that it’s results do not imply heat affected areas nor mechanical tensions.
- We are at your disposal for offer requests for waterjet cutting of unique pieces and as well as for small, medium or large series.
