Waterjet cutting is a manufacturing process where highly pressurized water is fired through a ruby or diamond nozzle into a mixing chamber. The pressure makes a vacuum and pulls garnet sand into the stream, which is then shot at the object being cut. The sand particles wear down, or cut, the material.

Electrical discharge machining, or EDM, is a precision manufacturing technique that uses electricity to shape metal workpieces. This method uses brass wire to create sparks that vaporize the metal they contact. In wire EDM, the electrode is a length of thin single-strand wire that, when applied continuously, generates clean cuts with a smooth, high-quality surface.

Water jet cutting is a fabrication process that relies on the principles of erosion. It involves pressurizing water—sometimes mixed with abrasive media (e.g., garnet)—to up to 392 MPa and projecting it from a small-bore nozzle. The result is a high-pressure, high-speed stream of water (i.e., water jet).
