Technological innovation has been crucial in raising the standards of Natural Stone processing, and waterjet cutting is now one of the most advanced solutions used by Natstone in both national and international projects. This technology makes it possible to achieve levels of precision, customization, and quality that are difficult to obtain with traditional methods, while simultaneously respecting the nature of the material.
Waterjet Cutting in Natural Stone
What is waterjet cutting?
Waterjet is a cutting system that uses ultra-high-pressure water, often combined with natural abrasives, to cut stone with extreme accuracy. Unlike thermal processes, waterjet cutting does not generate heat, preventing internal stresses, microfractures, or alterations to the stone’s structure — a critical factor when working with premium materials and technically demanding projects.
Technical Advantages
At Natstone, waterjet technology is applied to marble, granite, limestone, and other natural stones, ensuring consistent results even with greater thicknesses. Among its main advantages are:
- High-precision cutting, ideal for complex geometries and customized designs
- Full preservation of the stone’s natural characteristics
- Versatility of applications, from architectural elements to decorative pieces
- Clean finishes, reducing the need for rework
-
A sustainable solution, optimizing material use and reducing waste
In addition to cutting, waterjet technology allows the softening of sharp, straight edges on slabs previously cut with saws, enhancing safety, tactile comfort, and the overall quality of the final finish.
Applications in Architecture, Design, and Renovation
Waterjet technology is widely used by Natstone in high-value technical and decorative applications. Notable examples include:
- Creation of corporate logos integrated into decorative walls or inlaid into flooring, ideal for institutional buildings, hotels, and commercial spaces
- Precision cutting of kitchen and bathroom countertops
- Drilling of faucet and sink openings, ensuring perfect fittings and impeccable finishing
- Production of architectural elements for façades, interiors, and street furniture
-
Reproduction of ornamental patterns and bespoke pieces for the restoration of historic heritage
Technology Serving Demanding International Projects
With a strong export-oriented focus, Natstone integrates waterjet technology as part of its commitment to quality, innovation, and customization, meeting the demands of architects, builders, and designers in highly competitive markets. Each piece is developed under strict quality control, combining skilled craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology.
Waterjet does not replace traditional know-how — it enhances it. It is through this fusion of advanced technology and expertise in Natural Stone processing that Natstone continues to establish itself as a benchmark in high-value architectural solutions, both technically and aesthetically.
