The sheet metal fabrication industry plays a strategic role in many sectors, such as the automotive, aerospace, construction, energy and industrial equipment manufacturing industries. It primarily involves transforming metal sheets (steel, aluminium, stainless steel, titanium, etc.) into functional components designed to be integrated into complex assemblies.
In this context, cutting technologies play a central role in industrial performance. Among these, high-pressure waterjet cutting is emerging as an increasingly sought-after solution.
The industry sees this technology as a driver of flexibility and diversification, as it enables the cutting not only of metals, but also of composites, plastics, glass, stone and technical materials. This versatility meets the growing needs for customisation, rapid prototyping and the production of small or medium-sized batches.
In an industrial context increasingly focused on sustainability, waterjet cutting is also seen as a relatively clean solution, minimising fumes and material distortion.
Consequently, the industry’s current focus is on cutting processes that are ever more precise, flexible and gentle on materials, with waterjet cutting emerging as a complementary and strategic technology within modern manufacturing lines.
