Cutting Brittle Optical Materials Without Compromise: The Case for Micro-Abrasive Waterjet
In optical manufacturing, a single subsurface crack turns a component into scrap. Laser and mechanical dicing leave heat-affected zones and edge chipping in fused silica, sapphire and glass. Here is why cold micro-abrasive waterjet cutting changes the equation for photonics — with no HAZ and micron-level precision.

Why Cold Cutting Matters in Medical Device Manufacturing: Material Integrity from Prototype to Production
In medical devices, the material you specify must behave exactly as specified. Thermal cutting introduces heat-affected zones, micro-cracks, and residual stress that put material integrity and regulatory compliance at risk. Cold cutting with micro-abrasive waterjet removes the defect, and the documentation burden that comes with it.
