A waterjet cuts material with an ultra-high-pressure stream of water (often mixed with abrasive garnet) — cold cutting that leaves no heat-affected zone and cuts almost anything: metal, stone, glass, composites, thick plate. It's flexible and burr-light but slower than thermal methods.
Because there's no heat distortion, waterjet is prized for heat-sensitive and thick materials.
