You must have seen the Will It Blend videos where Tom Dickson of Blendtec smashes various gadgets to pieces by using his ultra tough blender. A new company are trying something similar which see’s them asking the question “Can Water Cut It?”

“What makes waterjets so popular? Waterjets require few secondary operations, produce net-shaped parts with no heat-affected zone, heat distortion, or mechanical stresses caused by other cutting methods, can cut with a narrow kerf, and can provide better usage of raw material since parts can be tightly nested.”
