Composite materials
MATERIAL TYPES

Composites

Our high-end technology allows ICS to offer waterjet cutting services which include the processing of composite materials.

Composites include a wide range of materials but ICS works most often with graphite, carbon fiber, fiberglass, reinforced plastic, and composite foams. Since we use the latest technology, we can produce a very narrow water stream that has a low impact on composites. This low impact cutting process eliminates delamination, whiskering, and cracking.

CAPABILITIES

Composites

waterjet cut Carbon Fiber material

Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP)

This fibrous composite material is extremely strong and lightweight. CFRP is often waterjet cut to be used in the aerospace industry, because of its high strength-to-weight ratio.

Waterjet cut Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP)

Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP)

This low-cost composite is made from glass fibers and is often seen in the architecture industry. This composite has a medium weight and a medium density.

waterjet cutting G10 material

G10

G10 is a high-pressure fiberglass laminate. to create this material glass cloth is stacked and soaked in epoxy resin. This material is extremely strong and is widely used as an insulator for electronic applications

waterjet cutting Rubber

Rubber

All varieties of rubber are compatible with waterjet cutting and it is used in many different industries. A material that is known for being flexible in terms of its mechanical and chemical properties. 

waterjet cutting Foam

Foam

Foam is generally highlighted for its high strength-to-weight ratio and is often used for its thermal insulation properties. Foam is most often cut using the pure waterjet cutting process.

Waterjet cutting PVC & Acrylic

PVC & Acrylic

PVC has high hardness and mechanical properties and good electrical insulation. ICS often waterjet cuts acrylic for aesthetic applications due to its durability and superior attractiveness.
