Waterjet Cutting In Architectural & Design Applications

Abrasive waterjet cutting has revolutionized the decorative fabrication industry, and AST Waterjet has been at the leading edge of this technology. From simple letters to custom and complex and intricate designs, AST Waterjet Cutting achieves extraordinary results and superior edge finishes with state-of-the-art abrasive waterjet equipment and decades of hands-on manufacturing experience.

At AST Waterjet Cutting we offer a complete, one-stop solution for your decorative fabrication requirements. Our large capacity waterjet cutting machines mean that no job is too big or too small. Our full-service CAD department brings your ideas from concept to completion using the latest computer design technology. Our entire staff is at your disposal with one goal in mind: your complete satisfaction with our service and workmanship. Nothing less will do.

We have full-time Programmers, Engineering and Maintenance Personnel on staff that all draw from more than 50 years of experience. Our processes are designed with quality and efficiency. This leads to products that are cut correctly and efficiently.

AST’s Waterjet Cutting Quality Manual was developed to adhere to ISO 9000 level quality processes.

Each step of our process from quoting to programming; to first piece approvals; to shipping the finished goods is designed with the checks and balances that ensure we are achieving our customers design and quality intent.

You can rest assured that if we cut your material, it will be stored and processed in a routine manner. We will also inventory your material for future use.

In the event of a quality escape or defect, we follow a corrective action process that is designed to determine the root cause of the defect and document the steps we will take to ensure that the issue does not occur again.
