Our IntelliMAX Proto software, designed specifically for the waterjet, boasts features that ensure accuracy and optimize cut time. Our software is so benefitial for efficient, precise cutting we provide unlimited seats for your organization.
Designed exclusively for waterjet, our IntelliMAX Proto software includes features you would expect from most CAD packages. In addition, it also features waterjet-specific tools, like cut quality and lead-in/lead-out, which help create the right part the first time.
No need for additional 3rd-party software when using other CAD systems or drawings. Intelli-MAX LAYOUT supports files from other CAD programs including .dxf, .dwg, .ord, .ai, .pdf, and .svg formats. Importing into LAYOUT is one easy step.
Intelli-TRACE allows you to take personal images from your camera, the web, or just about anywhere else and convert them to a vector drawing. Built-in tools help you get your drawing ready to cut. Go from picture to part without additional software.

Start up, shut down and cutting preparation are easier when your controlling laptop is in close reach. Mounts directly to the side of your catcher tank and includes a bead chain for quick access of your standoff gauge.
This option is great for cutting thin metals, cloth, gaskets, plastics which will drape between the slats and also glass, mirror and other materials which can fall through slats after cutting.
Specifically engineered for the attachment to the water manifold, the hose kit is rated for continuous pressure without leaks or bursts and shipped with handy bracket to hang the spray nozzle on.
Your standard replenishment parts inventory with all the items you need for sustained operation. The kit includes extra slats, mixing tubes, orifices, garnet feed line, mixing tube retainer nut, nozzle body o-ring, water filter, splash guard and last chance filters.
Our most popular kit. This provides all the replenishment parts you’ll need over an extended time including extra slats, mixing tubes, orifices, garnet feed line, mixing tube retainer nut, nozzle body o-ring, water filter, splash guard and last chance filters plus the drain water filter tank and water spray nozzle.
Drain tank water faster. The suction screen is a self-installed alternative to the standard foam drain filter included with the ProtoMAX. This design offers maximum drain flow rate and requires minimal cleaning.
Although most regions allow water from your catcher tank to flow to drain, certain locations and institutions may require additional filtration. This accessories contains a submersible “sump” pump that takes the filtered water direct to drain.
