- Machining using abrasive water jet enables to machine (turn, mill, polish, drill, etc.) difficult-to-machine and non-machinable materials, such as composites, ceramics, high-strength alloys, glass, rocks, etc.
- Utilization of high-speed water jets for ultra-fine grinding and disintegration of materials (primarily geo-materials) in the area of production of submicron particles.
