Waterjet Cutting

Waterjet cutting is one of the most versatile fabrication processes available today, capable of cutting virtually any material — from titanium and tool steel to marble, glass, and carbon fibre — without introducing heat into the workpiece. Forton General Trading offers professional abrasive waterjet cutting services in the UAE, using high-pressure systems that mix water with garnet abrasive to produce a focused stream powerful enough to slice through plate up to 150mm thick. The result is a clean, accurate cut with a smooth, sandblasted-finish edge that often requires little or no secondary processing.

The cold-cutting nature of waterjet makes it uniquely valuable for materials that cannot tolerate heat. Hardened tool steels, titanium aerospace components, and pre-coated or pre-painted sheet retain their original properties because there is no heat-affected zone. Stone, glass, and ceramic materials can be cut into intricate patterns without cracking or chipping. Composites, carbon fibre, and sandwich panels can be cut without delamination. For industries ranging from aerospace and oil and gas to architecture and luxury interiors, waterjet cutting opens up possibilities that no other process can match.

Forton's waterjet capability is supported by experienced operators and modern CAD/CAM software that handles complex geometries, fine internal cut-outs, and tight nesting layouts. We accept DXF, DWG, AI, and other vector formats, and our team reviews each file to optimise pierce points, cutting paths, and abrasive flow for the best balance of speed, edge quality, and cost. For projects requiring angled cuts, weld preparations, or 3D geometry, our equipment supports bevel and multi-axis cutting, eliminating secondary machining steps.

Architects, interior designers, and bespoke fabricators across the UAE turn to Forton's waterjet service for high-end marble inlay floors, glass feature walls, decorative metal screens, and signage. Industrial clients use it for precision gaskets, structural plate, valve internals, and components that would warp or harden under thermal cutting. The ability to cut layered or stacked materials in a single pass also makes waterjet ideal for production runs of thin gaskets, foam inserts, and rubber components — substantially reducing per-part cost.

Quality control and material handling are critical when cutting expensive or delicate materials. Forton's waterjet service includes careful clamping, secondary support, and tabbing strategies that protect valuable workpieces during cutting. We work to your tolerances, supply test cuts when needed, and provide full traceability for regulated industries. Our facility also houses fabrication, finishing, and assembly capabilities, allowing waterjet-cut parts to be welded, polished, engraved, or assembled into finished products without ever leaving our site — a significant advantage in terms of cost, timeline, and quality control.

When you bring a project to Forton's waterjet service, you are working with a team that combines technical expertise with commercial pragmatism. We help you choose the right cutting process for the job, optimise designs for material yield, and provide transparent pricing on every quotation. Whether you need a single architectural feature, a batch of industrial gaskets, or a recurring production order, our waterjet service delivers consistent quality on virtually any material.
