Flow International Corp. has introduced what it’s calling “the next groundbreaking waterjet advancement,” Dynamic Waterjet XD, the first high precision 3D cutting technology of its kind.

This technology improves part cycle time and accuracy of 2 – 4 times that of standard non Dynamic systems, and is 30 per cent faster than Flow’s industry leading original Dynamic technology.

Manufacturers now can realize greater opportunity to capitalize on the demand for production of multi-dimensional parts. The waterjet’s versatility enables manufacturers to cut a wider variety of intricate designs, which gives them the capabilities to tap new markets. With 3D cutting and complex beveling, users can cut elaborate parts previously unattainable using standard non-Dynamic waterjets. These new 3D advancements have been integrated with the core benefits of Flow’s original Dynamic Waterjet technology, which eliminates taper and other errors found on waterjet cut parts.

Available on Flow’s Mach 4 series line of waterjet machines, Flow’s easy-to-use software models enable users to simply point and click to program the waterjet to cut any intricate shape, including 3D or bevel edge.

“Now more than ever, the manufacturing industry demands cost-effective methods for parts production,” says Chip Burnham, vice president of marketing. “Customers need to be able to handle complex geometries, and even faster, more accurate cutting from their waterjet. Dynamic XD gives Flow the opportunity to meet our customers’ needs in producing complex, high-precision parts.”
