Waterjet Cutting Services

AndyMark strives to provide customers with innovative parts and services. Many customers don't have access to an affordable, timely waterjet cutting service. We've partnered with Waterjet Cutting by 221 Robotics to provide simple cutting services of sheet aluminum and polycarbonate. Customers can choose their material, upload a DXF drawing, choose how quickly they want parts cut, and the parts will be on their way! We are proud to offer this service with no minimum order and no service fees.

Here are a few suggestions of parts that can be fabricated through this service:

• Gearbox plates
• Material for angles, before being bent by you
• Custom brackets and gussets
• Linkages
• Sprockets (without chamfered teeth)
• Electrical layout panels
• Robot belly pans

Design Best Practices:

• The DXF file must be version 14 or newer with specified measurement units to be processed.
  • Attention OnShape Users: to make sure your files get processed & scaled correctly, make sure your workspace units are set to inches, and then when you export the DXF file set the version to 2018. 
• The minimum hole size is 0.09 inches 
• Inside corners will be cut to have a radius of 0.020" if no fillet is present 
• Larger radius dimensions on corners will speed up the cut and generally reduce cost 
• No part can be larger than 4'x4'
• Accuracy of cuts no tighter than +/- 0.007"
  • This includes the slight taper caused by the jet
  • Design holes for bearings to be at least 0.007" diameter smaller than the final bearing diameter. The customer will need to provide finishing reaming / drilling / sanding to get final bearing diameter.
    
• Parts are sent WITHOUT deburring or sanding, so they may have sharp corners and edges. Most parts will require some post-processing by the customer.
• Steel parts are likely to have slight surface rust.
