Q What is the software that runs this machine? Can l import SVG and convert it to CAM forcutting?

A
The water jet cutting software is WElHONG brand china. The WElHONG softwaresupport .dxf file drawing by AUTOCAD and can use .dxf directly. And software also support*.g;*.nc; *.ug;* demo;*.iso;*eng,*.cut,.plt;* txt. Or any NC code into our software.SVG type is not availiable for WElHONG software. ls it possible for you to useAUTOCAD? And I can also supply you AUTOCAD software.
Q How much does a complete waterjet system cost?

A
If running a water jet machine is cheap, one of its most notable attributes. After considering everything, the cost of running a waterjet is only $14/hour.

Then, once you add product material costs, hours, profit percentages, etc., you get the final price.

If you need abrasives, you will need an additional price, which is usually between $0.20 and $0.35 per pound, up to $35.00/hour, depending on pump power and cutting time.

In addition to the initial operating costs, waterjet cutting offers other cost-saving benefits such as low tangential forces from drawing to cutting, fast cutting speeds and fast settling times, often eliminating the need for fast transition times for clamping.
Q What kinds of materials can be cut with a waterjet?

A A waterjet can cut both hard & soft materials including, but not limited to titanium, stainless steel, aluminium, munitions, exotic alloys, composites, stone, marble, floor tile, glass, automotive headliners & door panels, gasket, foam, rubber, insulation, textile, food and many more.　Soft materials are cut with water only, while hard materials require a stream of water mixed with fine grains of abrasive garnet.
