Micro Waterjet

Micro Waterjet, LLC (MWJ) was formed through a partnership with Waterjet AG and Max Daetwyler Corporation to bring micro manufacturing services for advanced abrasive waterjet technologies to North America. We serve a broad range of markets to include aerospace, automotive, electrical, job and machine shops, art and architecture, medical, motorsports, watch components, and many other advanced manufacturing, specialty applications.

Waterjet AG was founded to develop the Abrasive WaterJet Micro Machining® (AWJMM®) technology for the microwaterjet® cutting machine, the first of its kind in the world. As a seasoned contract manufacturer, Walter Maurer, Director of Waterjet AG in Aarwangen, Switzerland, decided to co-develop a high-precision waterjet cutting technology to meet and exceed his customer’s expectations. His source of inspiration was a collection of unfulfilled customer inquiries he had collected over several years. Working with a regional technical institute in Switzerland, all of the important components such as pressurization, valve, ductwork, cutting head and abrasive system were analyzed during a two-year research project. Today, the result is an abrasive water jet that is bridging the gap between existing cutting technologies including EDM and Laser.
