Waterjet cutting technology is ideally suited for cutting glass. With waterjet cutting, contours and profiles can be produced that are, at best, too difficult or costly to cut using conventional separation methods. Because of its material characteristics, glass easily cracks. This makes it vital to make starting holes for the openings using as little pressure as possible. The continuous increase or decrease in cutting pressure turns out to be extremely useful when cutting brittle materials such as glass or ceramics, so that material damage can be avoided.
