Precision Waterjet Solutions for the Glass Industry
Achieve smooth, crack-free, and intricate glass cuts with advanced cold-cutting waterjet technology from Midecnc.
Why Waterjet Cutting is Ideal for Glass Processing
Waterjet cutting is the preferred method for processing glass thanks to its cold cutting capabilities. It eliminates the risk of thermal cracking, reduces post-processing needs, and achieves highly precise, complex shapes across various types of glass.
Typical glass applications include
- Shower doors and bathroom panels
- Tempered and laminated glass cutting
- Glass mosaics and art pieces
- Architectural glass facades
- Decorative interior glass components
- Custom holes, bevels, and curved profiles
High-Speed, Cold-Cutting Solution for Fragile Glass Panels in Custom Architecture Projects
Case Study: Precision Glass Cutting with CNC Waterjet Technology
Midecnc’s high-pressure CNC waterjet cutting machine was selected by a custom glass manufacturer in the Middle East to process ultra-clear float glass and laminated glass for premium architecture projects. Unlike traditional cutting methods that risk edge chipping and thermal stress, our cold-cutting waterjet technology enables flawless results with no cracks or distortion.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can waterjet cutting be used on tempered glass?
No, tempered glass will shatter when cut. However, waterjets are ideal for cutting before tempering, or for laminated and non-tempered varieties.
2. Will the glass crack or chip during cutting?
No. Waterjet cutting is a cold, non-contact process, minimizing stress and ensuring clean, chip-free edges.
3. Can I cut curves or holes in thick glass?
Yes. Midecnc’s 5-axis waterjets can easily handle custom shapes, curves, and interior holes, even in thick laminated glass.
4. What’s the maximum glass thickness I can cut?
Typically up to 100mm (4 inches), depending on glass type and machine configuration.
5. Do I need polishing after waterjet cutting?
In many cases, no. The edges are smooth enough for direct use, especially for hidden or fitted applications.
6. Is waterjet cutting safe for decorative or printed glass?
Yes. The process is gentle and maintains surface finishes, prints, or coatings.
7. How accurate is waterjet cutting for detailed glass patterns?
Extremely accurate. Tolerance levels are typically within ±0.1mm, suitable for fine mosaics or engravings.
8. Can your machines be customized for my workshop?
Absolutely. We provide tailored machine sizes, gantry heights, and nozzle configurations to suit your production needs.
