Five-Axis Waterjet Machining

LAI has operated waterjets for job shop applications since the mid-1980s and is a leader in manufacturing innovations using the technology. LAI leads developments in five axis waterjet machining, multi-head cutting, rotary applications, angled hole drilling, and processing composites and exotic materials. Employees of LAI know that if a five axis waterjet cutting or machining application is physically possible, they can do it. And LAI can prove it.
