Waterjet Cutting Fibreglass & Carbon Fibre
Why waterjet cutting suits fibreglass
Cutting fibreglass with a grinder, saw, or router generates two problems: fraying at the cut edge where the glass fibres separate from the resin, and airborne glass fibre dust that is a significant respiratory and skin hazard requiring full PPE and dust extraction. The faster you cut mechanically, the worse the fraying gets.
Waterjet cuts fibreglass cold and without contact pressure, so the edge is clean with minimal fraying, and the fine particles that are generated are immediately dissolved and washed away by the water stream rather than becoming airborne. Multiple sheets can also be stacked and cut simultaneously, which speeds up production runs considerably.
What we cut fibreglass For
- Marine hulls, panels, and boat components
- Automotive body parts and guards
- Pool and spa shells and surrounds
- Surfboard and water sports components
- Construction panels and grating
- Industrial enclosures and guards
Why waterjet cutting suits Carbon Fibre
Waterjet cutting is the ideal cold-process solution for carbon fibre reinforced polymers. By eliminating friction heat, it prevents matrix burning, toxic fumes, delamination, and resin degradation. Driven by high-precision CNC controls, abrasive waterjets cut complex composite profiles with smooth, clean edges—delivering high-strength components ready for aerospace, automotive, and industrial applications.
