Not sure if TamCut can cut your material, part or application? Send us your drawing, material information or part idea. Muototerä’s waterjet specialists will evaluate whether TamCut is suitable for your application and help you understand what kind of cutting result can be expected.
This is a practical first step if you are considering TamCut for prototypes, single parts, small batches, maintenance parts, gaskets, R&D or production support.
Right fit
Find out if TamCut is the right fit
Waterjet cutting is highly versatile, but cutting performance depends on material type, thickness, part geometry, number of piercings and required edge quality. A sample cut request helps you evaluate whether TamCut is suitable before moving forward with a machine purchase, detailed quotation or production planning.
This is especially useful for
Unfamiliar materials
Difficult geometries
Prototypes
Gaskets and seals
Maintenance parts
Test specimens
Customer-specific parts

What to send
What can you send us?
You can send a complete drawing, a simple sketch, a photo or just a short description of your application.
Reviewed by real waterjet specialists
Your application is reviewed by Muototerä, a Finnish waterjet company with real production, machine-building and service experience. We do not only sell compact waterjet cutting machines. We use waterjet cutting technology in our own production and understand the practical details that affect cutting quality, speed and suitability. This helps you get a more realistic answer than a simple yes/no material list.
Useful information includes
- Material type
- Material thickness
- Part dimensions
- Required quantity
- Required edge quality
- Drawing file, if available
- Photo of the part or material, if available
- Intended use of the part
- Whether this is a prototype, single part, small batch or production need If you are not sure what information is needed, send what you have. We will ask for more details if required.

Why Bother
Why request a sample cut?
It helps you to mke better buying desicion — and answers the questions a specification table cannot.
- Can TamCut cut this material?
- What edge quality can be expected?
- Is the geometry suitable for waterjet cutting?
- Is TamCut suitable for this type of part?
- Would TamCut reduce outsourcing or lead times?
- Which TamCut model would fit the application better?
Material suitability note
Waterjet cutting results vary depending on material type, thickness, structure, coating, brittleness, elasticity and required edge quality. For demanding, expensive or unfamiliar materials, a test cut is recommended before making production decisions.
TamCut is designed for flat parts and 2D geometries. If your application requires automatic 3D cutting, another machine type may be more suitable.
