IN THE 1990S, WATERJET CUTTING AND HYDROBRASIVE MACHINING WILL BECOME THE FIRST CHOICE FOR NONTRADITIONAL PROCESSING IN JOB SHOPS. THE COST PER PART TO PRODUCE SMALL QUANTITIES WILL BE BELOW CONVENTIONAL METHODS OF MACHINING. THE THROUGH-PUT TIME WILL BE SHORTER. MATERIAL HANDLING WILL BE REDUCED, AS WATERJET CUTTING/HYDROBRASIVE MACHINING CAN SHAPE, MACHINE, AND DRILL ON THE SAME PIECE OF CNC EQUIPMENT. FLEXIBILITY IS A KEY FACTOR WHEN IT COMES TO CUTTING/MACHINING DIFFERENT PART SIZES AND SHAPES IN METALS, GLASS, RUBBER, COMPOSITES, AND MATRIX MATERIALS IN VARYING QUANTITIES. COST PER COMPLETED PART IS STRESSED.
