CUTTING COMPOSITE MATERIALS WITH WATER JET SYSTEMS

According to an article by TWI, a composite material is:

a combination of two materials with different physical and chemical properties. When combined, they create a specialized material to do a certain job, for instance, to become stronger, lighter, or resistant to electricity. They can also improve strength and stiffness. Companies develop and use these materials instead of traditional materials because they improve their base materials’ properties and are applicable in many situations.
