These letters were made from 0.5" (1.3 cm) Plex AC Composite and took about four minutes to make. 		A Comprehensive Overview of Abrasivejet Technology

Forward

The two-axis high-pressure abrasive water jet cutting system has been in existence for over twenty years. Long regarded as a niche technology for trained experts serving specialized waterjet shops or manufacturing systems, abrasivejets have changed dramatically in the last few years. Advances in control technology, high pressure pumping technology, and high pressure component technology have made it possible for any machine shop or fabricating shop to purchase and profitably operate a precision abrasivejet cutting system.
