How does the laser stay so sharp when the waterjet contacts the sides of a deep cut?

[@Avonisys]

The waterjet has a certain pressure in which it stays laminar enough for making deep cuts. Typically that is 160-400 bar depending on the jet nozzle diameter. The laser itself is guided inside the waterjet by internal reflection. So as long as the jet is laminar the laser can machine material.

Seems underpowered compared to a modern laser cutter. Not sure why anyone would use this to cut aluminum. By contrast I don't know of a technique that performs a fraction as well on thick ceramics. I will definitely remember this the next time I want ceramic parts.

[@Avonisys]

You are absolutely right. A conventional laser cutter will be quicker to make this. But the demurring will add time and cost (if high tolerances are required). In this case there is no post-processing at all required and the parts can be used "as cut"

This system also runs a lot cooler so there is almost no heat affected zone around the cut. In aerospace this can be very important where you have very accurately heat treated high strength materials. The heat affected zone can lead to a loss of specification, a possible failure point and so rejection of the work. A clean and accurate cut with no heat affected zone and little to no post processing is what everybody is aiming to achieve.

@@Avonisys Is it possible to scale up this process to multiple kW cutting power?
