Carbon Fibre Show Piece

Hydromar was challenged by Gurit, a global leader in the development and manufacture of advanced composite materials, to manufacture a 130mm thick carbon fibre composite. The goal was to produce a piece that would demonstrate their advanced composite material. Utilising one of the most advanced waterjet profiling equipments in the industry, cutting at 94,000 psi and with ‘Dynamic’ taper control, Hydromar of course rose to the challenge. The customer was initially concerned about cut quality and requested that a full thickness test cut be done before the final profile. Profiling very thick material always presents some challenges, the current thickest material profiled is 300mm. The customer was ecstatic with the test cut and approved cutting of the final profile.
