Waterjet cutting: our expertise in elastomer processing

High-pressure waterjet cutting makes it possible to manufacture technical parts from sheets and flexible materials, including rubber, silicone, polyurethane and foam.

This process uses a concentrated waterjet to cut materials without heat input. For flexible elastomers, cutting can be performed without abrasives, using parameters adapted to the material being processed.

It is particularly suitable for manufacturing complex shapes, specific profiles, openings and custom-cut parts to your drawings. Certain geometries can be produced without the need for dedicated cutting dies.

Our waterjet cutting equipment operates at high pressure, with a stated pressure of 4,000 bar. Manufacturing capabilities depend on the material, its thickness and the geometry of the part.

Which materials can we cut to size?

Our workshop processes various industrial materials. Material selection depends on the mechanical requirements, temperature, fluids and operating environment of the finished part.

Rubber and elastomers

NBR, EPDM, neoprene, natural rubber and other technical grades for cutting gaskets, washers, strips, protective components and industrial parts.

Polyurethane

Custom polyurethane cutting makes it possible to manufacture parts exposed to friction, wear or abrasion, depending on the selected formulation and hardness.

Silicone

Custom silicone cutting is suitable for certain applications requiring good temperature resistance and specific properties, depending on the selected grade.

Technical foams

Custom foam cutting makes it possible to manufacture protective components, packing pieces, acoustic insulation elements and cushioning materials.

Not sure which material to choose? Read our article What is an elastomer? to better understand their main characteristics.

Please note: cutting capabilities depend on the material, its thickness, hardness and part geometry. Some applications may require an alternative manufacturing process. Our team assesses the feasibility of each request.

Which manufacturing processes do we use?

In addition to waterjet cutting, our production workshops have various types of equipment for cutting and machining elastomers.

Press cutting

Press cutting uses tooling adapted to the geometry of the part. It can be particularly suitable for repeat manufacturing and series production, depending on quantities and material characteristics.

Turning and milling

Turning and milling make it possible to obtain specific shapes and dimensions through machining. These processes can be used to manufacture technical rubber and polyurethane parts, subject to project feasibility.

Which technical parts can be manufactured to your drawings?

Custom elastomer cutting makes it possible to manufacture various components for industrial maintenance, sealing, equipment protection and vibration reduction.

Depending on the materials and manufacturing processes used, our workshop can produce:

Flat gaskets and washers: parts designed for various sealing applications.
Spacers and technical strips: components used for spacing, support or protection.
Custom rubber parts: components adapted to the mechanical requirements of industrial equipment.
Polyurethane parts: components intended for applications involving wear.
Cut foam components: protective elements, packing pieces and acoustic insulation materials.

How to prepare your custom cutting request

To assess your project and prepare a suitable proposal, our team needs information about the main characteristics of the part to be manufactured.

Information required for your quotation

Drawing or sketch: part geometry and main dimensions.
Required material: rubber, polyurethane, silicone or foam.
Thickness and dimensions: specifications of the finished part.
Quantities: single part, small batch or repeat production.
Operating conditions: temperature, mechanical loads, fluids or other specific constraints.
Special requirements: dimensional tolerances, finish or other necessary specifications.

This information allows us to assess technical feasibility, select a suitable manufacturing process and prepare a quotation tailored to your project.

Accuracy, dimensions and quality of custom-cut parts

The quality of a cut part depends on the material selected, preparation of the cutting file, manufacturing process and inspections performed.

Achievable dimensional tolerances vary depending on factors such as material hardness, thickness and behaviour during processing.

For parts subject to specific requirements, it is important to specify the dimensional and functional criteria when requesting a quotation. Our team can then assess the manufacturing possibilities.

FAQ about custom elastomer cutting

Which materials can be cut using waterjet technology?

This process can be used to cut various grades of rubber, silicone, polyurethane and technical foams. Feasibility depends on the material, its thickness and the required shape.

Can you manufacture a single custom part from a drawing?

We assess requests for individual parts as well as series production. The selected manufacturing process depends on the technical specifications and quantities required.

How do you ensure dimensional accuracy?

Accuracy depends on the material, thickness, geometry and manufacturing process. The required dimensional tolerances should be specified when requesting a quotation so that their feasibility can be assessed.

How do I choose the right elastomer for a custom-cut part?

Material selection depends on the application, including mechanical loads, abrasion, fluids, temperature, hardness and operating environment. Our team can help you select a suitable material after assessing your requirements.

What information should I provide to request a quotation?

Ideally, provide a dimensioned drawing, the required material, thickness, quantities and operating conditions of the part.

What are the usual manufacturing lead times?

Lead times depend on material availability, part complexity, quantities and the selected manufacturing process. Our team will provide an estimated lead time when reviewing your request.
