In the realm of glass cutting services, choosing the right technology can greatly impact the outcome of your project.
While diamond saws have been a long-standing option, waterjet technology is quickly becoming the go-to choice for those seeking precision and efficiency.
At Hydro-Lazer, we specialize in waterjet glass cutting services that offer unparalleled advantages for intricate glasswork.
Understanding Waterjet Glass Cutting Services
Waterjet cutting uses a high-pressure stream of water, often mixed with an abrasive substance, to slice through glass with exceptional precision. This process provides several benefits over traditional diamond saw methods, making it ideal for intricate designs.
Cut Quality and Precision
One of the standout benefits of waterjet glass cutting services is the superior cut quality.
Our waterjet systems at Hydro-Lazer can achieve exceptionally smooth edges without chipping or cracking, which is often a challenge with diamond saws.
The precision of waterjet cutting allows for complex shapes and patterns in order to create perfect decorative and architectural glasswork.
Minimizing Material Waste
Waterjet cutting is also known for its efficiency in material usage.
The process produces minimal kerf (cut width), reducing material waste compared to diamond saws, which often have a wider blade and therefore a larger kerf.
This efficiency can lead to cost savings and more effective use of materials for projects with expensive glass types.
Operational Safety and Environmental Impact
When it comes to safety, waterjet glass cutting services outshine diamond saws.
The waterjet process is non-thermal, meaning there is no heat generated, reducing the risk of burns or fires.
Additionally, it eliminates airborne dust and particles that can pose health risks in traditional cutting environments.
Environmentally, waterjet systems are more sustainable.
They use recyclable water and produce less hazardous waste, making them a greener choice than diamond saws, which often require lubrication oil and create more substantial waste.
