2. • Non-traditional way of machining
• Cost effective
• Can be used with many different materials
• Uses complex mathematic formulas
• Based on erosion
3. • High pressure air shoots from nozzle
• Abrasive material mixed with air
• Concentrated stream to hit only the areas being
machined
• More precise than traditional methods
4. • The abrasives cause cracks in the material that break down
and fall away
• The machine takes the math and uses it like a pattern to cut
the material
• It will cut out the shape very quickly
• It works the best with brittle materiel but can be used with
other material as well
5. • Particle interference and fragmentation is still being
researched
• The materials are still being tested to see what the machine
can handle
• The nozzle diameter and distance from the work piece are
not yet determined as to all the confirmed materials
6. • The machine is effective and functional but still ahs room
for improvement
• There’s still work being done about the particle velocity
