Metals and other materials are sliced using a water jet in Al Nahda, using high velocity and pressure water as well as an abrasive substance. It is considered a "green" technology. Water jet process is used in cutting, shaping, carving, and reaming. It is also used for fabrication and manufacturing of machinery. From mining to aerospace, a wide range of industries use water jets. A water jet can cut through a material without destroying its inherent structure. This doesn’t change the intrinsic properties of the materials. Using specialized software and, complex 3-D shapes can also be achieved through a water jet.
