How does it work?
How does it work?
The WAZER waterjet cutter is similar to the laser cutters because it can do 2D cutting of materials however it cannot do engraving or rastering. Instead of using a laser, the waterjet uses high pressure water mixed with abrasive to cut through materials. It can cut through up to 0.5” aluminum, .125” tool steel, 0.5” glass, and much more!

How do I get Access?
The waterjet is in the manufacturing lab, so you must have already passed the manufacturing lab quiz. You can prepare a file according to the first cut guide, but you must have a staff member check your job before you start the cut. Failure to do so can jeopardize your access to the lab.
