A: The cost per inch varies with material thickness and the cut finish desired. Quoting the exact shape in the material required assures the most accurate costs to our customers.
Q: Is it more expensive to water jet cut than conventional methods used today?
A: In some cases as with thinner materials, laser cutting can be faster but not necessarily cheaper. This is due to the quantities most laser companies require you to purchase. In some cases there are secondary operations required due to laser finishes.
