Scott Fabtech
Scott Fabtech specialises in waterjet cutting and fabrication work using materials such as stainless steel, mild steel and aluminium, as well as manual machining and precision fitting/assembly. Our staff are renowned for their technical excellence and attention to detail in providing innovative solutions to a wide range of industry cutting requirements.
The team provide these services in our workshop, or on-site, working closely with the customer to their needs.
Waterjet Cutting
Scott Fabtech utilise a high precision waterjet cutting system. This system can cut complex flat parts out of most materials, including stainless steel, mild steel, aluminium, plastics, glass, ceremics, stone and composites. This can be done directly from a CAD drawing or DXF drawing. Extremely hard reflective and non-conductive materials can also be cut. Our waterjet cutter replaces commonly used machining applications, not only producing parts in a timely manner, but also eliminating heat which minimises distortion and the associated problems producing accurate parts. These benefits make the waterjet cutter an extremely flexible and cost effective process.
