Part Design & Engineering
Waterjet cutting technology is a very versatile tool for manufacturing parts. Variety
of materials and minimal setup allow us to cut virtually any material in any shape.
Below are some points to keep in mind when designing a part for waterjet cutting.
- CUT QUALITY
The cut quality chosen for a particular part has the most impact on the cut time
of the part. The entire part doesn’t need to have the same cut quality. So choosing
a lower cut quality for non critical areas will reduce cut time and cost.
- REDUCTION or ELIMINATION of CLOSED PROFILES
Every closed profile such as a hole requires the jet to pierce the material. Piercing
takes time and for brittle or laminate materials can cause deformation of the material.
When possible, JRDuce the number of pierces by connecting features, creating notches
from the edge instead of holes etc.
- STRAIGHT LINES vs CURVED LINES
Our software constantly adjusts the speed of the cutting nozzle to optimize cut
speed while maintaining cut quality. Straight line features allow the jet to reach
its max speed and thus reduce the cut time of the part. Changing profile features
from slightly curved to straight can improve the cut time and reduce the cost of
the part. Sharp direction changes also increase the cut time so adding radius corners
to parts allows the jet to travel faster.
- MATERIAL SELECTION
The thicker the material, the slower the jet can cut a given distance. So deciding
an appropriate thickness of material for the application can play a big part in
the overall cost of a job. Material type is another factor driving cut speed. Not
every part needs to be made of stainless steel. Choosing aluminum versus stainless
can often reduce the cut time substantially.
- MATERIAL UTILIZATION
JRD uses advanced nesting technology to reduce the amount of waste created in the
cutting process. When designing a part, keep in mind standard sheet materials come
in whole foot increments. So a part that is 49” wide cannot fit on a 48” wide sheet.
When possible, altering the design to fall under a standard sheet width or length
can improve the yield of the sheet and reduce the cost of the part.
