The Sky is No Limit
What complex parts do you need built?
We use environmentally friendly technology to accurately cut most any material with ultra high pressure water (up to 6.200 Bar). The waterjet cutting process doesn’t produce any mechanical or thermal deformations on the material, nor does it require any additional processing since the contoured surface of the cut is perfectly finished.
Industries
Customized services for any business, including one-off parts and batch production.
Front Street Shipyard’s Manufacturing Division isn’t limited to the marine industry. We’re producing parts for all types of manufacturers, including industrial, transportation, construction and energy companies. With one of the largest cutting tables among waterjets in the country, we’ll produce and ship custom parts anywhere globally.

5-Axis 3D Technology
The 5-axis Evolution 3D cutting system automatically maintains a constant distance between the nozzle and the material, through the use of a touch probe device — even while the cutting head is rotating.
Any Material, Any Thickness
Cut any shape, size, or material up to a maximum thickness of 300 mm. Using the same tool and parameters during most operations, it’s possible to easily cut marble, granite, glass, ceramic, composite materials, metals, and alloys.
Precision & Accuracy
Your parts will be manufactured with the most precision and accuracy available today. We’ll cut within a tolerance of ± 0.1 mm (± 0.004”).
