  • Ideal for prototyping, signage, machine parts & decorative panels
  • Efficient for both small runs and high-volume production
  • the MAXIEM 2040 abrasive waterjet system can easily machine almost any material, from steel and titanium to carbon fibre, composites, and more
  • Fastest cutting speeds and best precision compared to any competitive abrasive waterjet in the industry.
  • Backed by the exclusive IntelliMAX Software with real world cutting Data.
  • Material Supports Slats 4″ x 14Ga Galvanized Steel(102 mm x 2 mm)
  • X-Y Cutting Envelope 4,000 mm x 1,800 mm
  • Z-Axis Travel 304 mm
  • Does not create heat-affected zones or mechanical stresses
  • Machines a wide range of materials and thicknesses, from metals and composites to fibreglass and plastics
  • Paired with the highly efficient MAXIEM Direct Drive Pump giving it the highest nozzle horsepower in the industry for faster, precise and more efficient cutting
  • Environmentally “green” system with no noxious gases, liquid or oils used in, or caused by, the machining process.

File & Job Requirements

We work directly from your supplied DXF file. If you don’t have one, our team can help with the design process to bring your idea to life.

End-to-End Service

We can combine our cutting services with fabrication, welding, and finishing to deliver a complete final product — ready to install or ship.
