Waterjet Technology
Centre
Waterjet Technology Centre Europe’s first state-of-the-art waterjet machining technology centre has opened in the Faculty of Engineering to assist regional aerospace companies.
Waterjet cutting technology is one of the fastest growing machine tool processes in the world, as the equipment is versatile and easy to operate. However, in the UK the process has been predominantly limited so far to ‘flat bed’ techniques — cutting two dimensional objects from sheets of raw material.
