Technology & Products
Key Products
Jet Turn (water jet AM support structure removal); ExtenDED Hybrid DED-CNC system; CASF (Cavitation Shot Finishing for AM surface improvement); CWJP (Continuous Water Jet Peening for compressive stress); JCC Jet Cleaning Centers; High-pressure water jet deburring machines
Technological Advantage
Proprietary CASF (Cavitation Shot Finishing) technology uses cavitation bubbles in water to simultaneously deburr, shot-peen, and improve surface roughness of AM parts with no media contamination; Jet Turn uses precise water jet pressure to remove support structures without part distortion; 85+ years of water jet machinery patents and know-how.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Provides water jet-based support structure removal (Jet Turn) and surface finishing (CASF cavitation shot finishing) for metal AM parts, eliminating manual deburring and enabling automated post-processing at production volumes without damaging delicate features.
How They Differentiate
Unique combination of water jet support removal (Jet Turn) + cavitation surface finishing (CASF) + hybrid DED-CNC (ExtenDED) from a single vendor with 85+ years water jet expertise; no media contamination vs. bead/shot blasting; integrated automation capability for production-scale AM post-processing.
