- Lower cost per piece for short runs
- Place holes closer to the materials edge
- Fast turn-around
- Minimal setup
- Thick materials are fine
- Brittle materials are no problem.
- Hard materials are easy.
- Some stamping houses are using waterjets for fast turn-around, or for low quantity / prototyping work. Waterjets make a great complimentary tool for punch presses and the like because they offer a wider range of capability for similar parts. For high production of thin sheet-metal, the stamp will be more p rofitable in many cases, but for short runs, difficult material, thick material, and many other similar but different applications, waterjets have their place.
