Consider Abrasive Water Jet Cutting for profiling parts from almost almost any material, from metals to plastics, laminates, tile, glass, rubber or any other requirement. With no heat affected zone as with laser, plasma, or torch, parts can be cut as close as +/- .005" with a finished perimeter. For stripper plates and similar parts, AWJ can be 5-10 times as fast as wire EDM. With virtually no setup or tooling, parts can be produced with very short lead times. Your CAD drawing can be converted to a machine program in minutes, at very low cost. Many parts that are thought of as "machined" parts can be profiled using AWJ to save material, and get a head start on additional machining operations.
