Colorado WaterJet Company Reported
Abrasive waterjet on three large-format systems. Waterjet is a cold process, so there is no heat affected zone and no temper change at the cut edge. Table size, maximum thickness and certifications are NOT published, and no AS9100 is claimed. Confirm before treating this as a qualified aerospace source. Titanium is named explicitly, and the absence of a heat affected zone is the reason waterjet is preferred on it.
