Choosing An Additive For Abrasive Waterjet Cutting
Choosing the right additive type and grade for abrasive waterjet cutting applications can make or break your waterjet operation’s performance and profitability. The process of selecting abrasives begins with examining the material and the cutting specifications. The difficulty of cutting the material and the desired edge quality are two critical factors in choosing the right abrasive waterjet cutting additive. Furthermore, the […]
The Best Materials For Waterjet Cutting
Vest Profiling is a leading fabrication company in Klipriver, providing waterjet cutting to ensure high-precision results. Manufacturers commonly use waterjet cutting in two ways. Pure waterjet cutting, which only uses the water stream, is used for soft materials such as foam or paper. A granular abrasive is added to the water stream in abrasive waterjet cutting to easily cut hard materials […]
Laser Cutting
Vest Profiling is a leading fabrication company in Klipriver, providing laser cutting to ensure high-precision results. Laser cutting can be done on various materials. However, some materials should never be laser cut. All metals are suitable for laser cutting, including mild steel, stainless steel, and non-ferrous metals. The maximum thickness is determined by the company that does the laser cutting based […]
Waterjet Cutting
Waterjet cutting is a method of cutting that uses a mixture of fine sand and water, sprayed at a high velocity, through a small orifice, to create a cut. The result is a fine stream that is capable of cutting through a variety of materials. It is one of the most efficient and cost-effective methods of […]
The Nature of the Metal used in Metal Sheet Profiling
Metal sheet profiling can be used in several ways in industry. Each metal, depending on your requirements, will have different properties that must be taken into account to achieve the best outcome. Most metals are very robust and strong and can be difficult to cut and form into usable products on your own. This is […]
What Is Metal Laser Cutting?
As much as there are a variety of fabrication methods available, cutting is one of the most common ways in which metal can be profiled. Cutting can be used to create a variety of specific designs or to transform the metal into smaller, usable pieces. The cutting of metal can take place in a variety […]
What Is Metal Sheet Fabrication?
Metal sheet fabrication is a process that is used to fashion flattened sheets of metal in a variety of custom designs and precision products. These processes include cutting, bending, stretching, and alike. The metal used can also be made from a variety of alloys, which bring their own advantageous properties to metal sheet fabrication. Metal sheet […]
Reverse Engineering Replacement Parts
Reverse Engineering Reverse engineering of replacement parts with metal laser cutting allows a person to use the existing design information of a particular part and reproduce it. The accuracy with which this is achieved is incredible and replicates the exact part every time. The ability to reverse engineer replacement parts provides a huge advantage to manufacturers […]
Sheet Metal Fabrication
Being able to do sheet metal fabrication and designs with metal has revolutionised the industry. No longer are we bound only by the metal components that are available on the market, but we can now specifically create and design components that are more suited to our particular application. Sheet metal fabrication can take place in several ways. The […]
Steel Profiling
Steel profiling is the process of shaping or cutting steel into specific dimensions, designs, or patterns to meet the requirements of a particular project or application. Steel and stainless steel have been long used in industry in a variety of beneficial and innovative ways. Their properties provide many advantages to the production of products, making them very versatile metals. Steel is […]
