Materials

One process.
Almost any material.

Finecut removes material by controlled particle erosion. The process does not depend on electrical conductivity, tool hardness or heat input—opening one production route across metals, ceramics, glass, composites and layered materials.

Material families

Start with how
the material behaves.

Different materials fail in different ways. Finecut is valuable where heat changes properties, tools wear rapidly, cutting forces damage the part or several dissimilar layers must be cut together.

Titanium skull plate cut with Finecut
01 · High-strength alloys

Protect the material state.

Cold cutting avoids a heat-affected zone and recast layer in demanding alloys, hardened metals and shape-memory materials.

  • Titanium
  • Nitinol
  • Stainless steel
  • Hardened and tool steel
  • Inconel and nickel alloys
  • Haynes alloys
  • Tantalum and hafnium
  • Magnesium alloys
Precision-cut alumina ceramic component
02 · Hard and brittle

Cut without tool hardness.

Particle erosion removes hard material with low process force, enabling fine contours in materials that challenge conventional tools.

  • Alumina
  • Zirconia
  • Silicon carbide
  • Sapphire
  • Glass
  • Fused silica and quartz
  • Silicon wafers
  • Green-state ceramics
Carbon fibre star cut by micro abrasive waterjet
03 · Composites

Cut fibre and matrix together.

A non-contact, non-thermal process eliminates the risk of melting while reducing fibre pull-out and rapid tool wear across reinforced and layered structures.

  • CFRP
  • GFRP
  • Kevlar and aramid
  • Zylon
  • Metal-matrix composites
  • CFRP–aluminium stacks
  • Honeycomb
  • Sandwich materials

04 · Soft, precious and layered

Change material—not process.

The same Finecut platform can move from polymers and elastomers to precious metals and multi-material assemblies with limited fixturing force.

  • PEEK and polymers
  • Rubber and elastomers
  • Gold and silver
  • Platinum
  • Copper
  • Mother-of-pearl
  • Metal–polymer laminates
  • Sealed assemblies

From material to system

The part defines
the configuration.

Material alone does not select a machine. The cutting envelope and axis concept follow the geometry, access, production volume and required edge condition.
