Precision Waterjet Cutting for Custom Metal Fabrication

Waterjet cutting gives us the ability to turn complex designs and precise patterns into accurately fabricated components without the heat and distortion associated with traditional cutting methods.

At Black Magic Metal Art, we use waterjet technology as part of our custom fabrication process to create intricate shapes, detailed patterns, architectural components and one-of-a-kind artistic elements. Whether you're working from a CAD drawing, architectural plans or an original concept, waterjet cutting allows us to bring precise designs to life.

Black Magic Metal Art provides precision waterjet cutting as part of our custom metal fabrication services for residential, commercial, architectural and artistic projects throughout Ventura County and surrounding Southern California communities.

Precision Meets Creativity

Waterjet cutting is an exceptionally versatile process. A high-pressure stream of water, combined with an abrasive cutting medium when appropriate, can cut intricate shapes and detailed designs with remarkable accuracy.

For Black Magic Metal Art, it's more than simply cutting a piece of metal. Waterjet technology gives us another tool for combining precision manufacturing with the creativity and craftsmanship that define our work.

We can take a digital design and transform it into a precisely cut component that becomes part of a larger architectural, functional or artistic project.

What Can We Cut?

Our waterjet capabilities allow us to work with a variety of materials and thicknesses depending on the specific project.

Materials may include:

  • Mild steel
  • Stainless steel
  • Aluminum
  • Copper
  • Brass
  • Bronze
  • Glass
  • Other compatible materials

Material thickness, size and cutting requirements vary by project. Contact us with your material specifications and design, and we'll help determine the best approach.

Nate's Black Magic Metal recently fabricated and installed a custom balcony railing for me. I couldn't be happier with the result. It was great working with Nate. Communications were fast, work was on time, and the result exceeded expectations. Highly recommend.

Nate is a professional, excellent iron worker, Artist, and most importantly a man of his word. Top quality work and very creative. Loves a challenge. Super open and easy to work with. We did a modern looking iron staircase railing, and landing with horizontal ballasters, powder coated with a crackle coat. A what? Exactly - it looks just dynamite. Thank you Nate!
