MicroStep AquaCut

Precision waterjet cutting system with optional plasma head

The AquaCut is a versatile CNC cutting machine designed for high-precision processing of a wide range of materials – including those sensitive to heat or mechanical stress. It uses pure water or abrasive waterjet cutting and can be optionally combined with a plasma torch or drilling/tapping unit for hybrid functionality.

AquaCut is ideal for clean, cold cutting of metals, stone, glass, ceramics, plastics, and composite materials. It ensures zero heat-affected zones and no deformation, making it suitable for intricate and delicate work where edge quality matters.
