Offering contract waterjet cutting services, Aerospace Alloys, Inc. is able to cut a variety of materials with ease. Whatever your business – automotive, aerospace, stone and tile, tool and die, gaskets, or fabrication – we can cut metal, stone, plastics, composites, glass, ceramics, rubber and more. Our equipment can cut through materials up to 9 inches thick with no heat-affected zone and superior edge quality.

Our waterjets require minimal fixturing and tooling so we can turn around your job quickly while reducing your tooling charges. We can cut accurate, clean edges that allow for tight nesting and reduced scrap – saving you money through greater material utilization.

A variety of cutting axis are available, and we provide water and abrasive material or water only cutting methods. Please contact Aerospace Alloys for more information.
