The Design Expo hosted at Texas Tech is a great place for designers to take a peak at some of the latest trends and ideas. Representatives from many different companies are on site ready to show off their latest products, and even products that they are known for. This was my second year to attend the event and one of the vendors that interested me the most was a company called Waterjet Works.
Waterjet Works is based in Dallas, Texas. They opened up in April of 1999. They started out with only two employees, but the company grew rapidly, and by 2006 they were up to 20 employees. Waterjet Works is “ one of the premier custom waterjet design and fabrication companies in the country”. They combine computer-driven technology with high-pressured streams of water to distinctively and precisely cut any surface. These surfaces include steel, stone, plastic, glass, wood, laminate, carpet, and many other surfaces.
Their work can be found in a number of places. They have installed in hospitals, schools, custom homes, hotels, and restauraunts. One of the benefits of this company is, unlike most other waterjet companies, Waterjet Works is able to cut many more materials than metal alone. They are skilled workers and can essentially cut out any shape that is needed.
While at expo, the company gave out examples of their work. I happened to get a cute little key chain! (As seen in the above image.) I had never heard of anything like this, which is why I found it quite intersting.
