Zero Tab Width for Clean Entry Cuts in WAM
Fine-tuning your cut settings is key to getting the most out of your WAZER. Like any CNC tool, dialing in performance requires experimenting with variables until you find the ideal setup for your specific application. In waterjet cutting, it’s not just about selecting the right material. Your tab and lead-in settings play a crucial role […]
Digitizing Drawings with Inkscape for WAZER
If you want to use WAZER but don’t know how to create digital designs, this is for you. The video above and the article below both demonstrate a reliable method for producing designs files compatible with WAZER waterjets when all you have is a hand-drawn sketch or an image sourced online. What are vector graphics? […]
Avoiding Delamination in Composites
Composite materials like FR-4/G10 and Carbon Fiber sheets are materials composed of layers of woven fibers reinforced with a resin, epoxy, or other solid polymer. When using a waterjet to cut these materials, they can often delaminate or separate. This delamination occurs during the initial “pierce” at the start of the cut. A great example […]
Understanding Draft Angle on WAZER Pro
This article is designed to help users understand draft angles on WAZER Pro. It will first discuss why all waterjetting leaves a draft angle and describe the basic physics at play in during a cut.
Draft Angles and the WAZER waterjet
All waterjets, including WAZER, leave behind a slight draft angle when cutting. Learn about the draft angle you can expect from a WAZER waterjet and how to reduce it in your cutting.
How artists can go from hand-drawn to CAD for CNC waterjets
Some artists may be intimidated by CAD or CNC tools. This article and video show how to start with computer-aided design, and how to maintain creativity, even with CAD.
WAZER Waterjet Precision, and how to Optimize its Accuracy
This study reports on WAZER’s precision, plus advice for accurate cutting with your WAZER.
How to cut Thin Shim Stock using a WAZER Waterjet Cutter
Shim stock is hard to work with. But the WAZER water jet can accurately and repeatedly cut parts out of very thin shim stock. This article shows you how.
How to: WAZER Waterjet Input Water and Output Drain
The WAZER requires fresh water input, and a drain water output. This guide, and video, explains it all so that you can easily meet WAZER’s requirements.
Make 3D assemblies from sheet metal with a WAZER Waterjet
The possibilities are endless when working in sheet metal, but what about creating 3D assemblies from it? You’ll never look at any shape the same again after reading this how-to guide on designing in CAD and cutting sheet metal with a WAZER waterjet.
