The accuracy of our waterjet is .03 or 1/32 in. when running at max speed. We can get tighter tolerances if we slow the machine down.
Most anything with the exception of Metals.
A single item maximum size is 20 feet by 54 feet.
We can often re-register the goods and cut larger lengths when needed.
We utilize such a small amount of water on the waterjet that most items are dry by the time we pick them up from the waterjet. The stream of water is smaller than a hypodermic (shot) needle and is at a pressure of 60,000 psi. The table cuts at a speed of 2000 inches per minute.
We recommend providing your artwork in one of the following file types:
.eps, .ai, .jpeg, .pdf, CAD or we can scan most any image including a baseball cap.
Artwork approvals 24-48 hrs – Completed project normally within 2 weeks from artwork approval.
No, we do not print anything (nothing topical). Each logo is cut by color on our waterjet and hand assembled/inlaid back together, like piecing a puzzle together. Unlike ‘printed’ you cannot wear off the logo, it’s good for the life of the material.
The Inlay Process
Step 1: You send us the design of your choice.
Step 2: An artwork approval is created based on the artwork you send us. This art is proportionally sized to fit the scale of the finished product you require and then cut on a precision waterjet machine to an exact replica of the image.
Step 3: The various pieces are then assembled from the different colors of material to match the design and art proof.
Step 4: These cut pieces are assembled/inlaid back together to form the multicolored image and then welded permanently back together to produce a replica of the artwork in a much larger size.
