Your Custom Waterjet Cutting Machine: OEM/ODM Options, Lead Times, and Proven Global Deployments
Your Custom Waterjet Cutting Machine: OEM/ODM Options, Lead Times, and Proven Global Deployments
YC Water Jet Technology Co., Ltd (YC Waterjet), founded in 1999 in Wuxi, China, specializes in ultra-high-pressure waterjet cutting systems. With a 7,000 m² production base and a team that includes three engineers with over 20 years of experience, the manufacturer delivers OEM and ODM production services for waterjet cutting machines. Customization options include logo, cutting head type, cutting area, cutting speed, voltage, cutting thickness, and height measurement. The company produces approximately 10 sets per month with a lead time of 30–45 days and a minimum order quantity of 1 set.
Why Customization Matters in Waterjet Cutting
Standard off-the-shelf waterjet cutting machines often cannot meet unique production requirements. Buyers need machines tailored to specific materials, part geometries, throughput targets, and facility constraints. A reliable OEM/ODM partner reduces integration risk, ensures regulatory compliance, and accelerates time to production.
Industry Background
The global waterjet cutting machine market was estimated at USD 1.31 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 1.86 billion by 2030. Asia-Pacific accounted for approximately 37.8% of global market revenue in 2024. Metal cutting applications dominate the segment, representing about 54.2% of the waterjet application share in 2026. YC Waterjet, exporting to over 140 countries and regions as of 2026, leverages this growing demand with a flexible manufacturing approach.
YC Waterjet’s OEM/ODM Capabilities
YC Waterjet provides OEM and ODM production services. Customization covers the following aspects:

- Height measurement – Laser scanning for automatic gap control.
The company holds ISO 9001:2015 (cert. 17324Q21401R0S) and CE certification (ICR/VC/HM2308122) covering its entire product range, including small waterjet cutting machines, L/G/E series, and ultra-high-pressure pumps.
Step-by-Step Customization and Delivery Process
- Requirement Analysis – Client shares material types, part dimensions, production volume, and any special conditions (e.g., tropical climate, marine environment).
- Solution Design – YC Waterjet proposes the optimal pump (e.g., YCG-3742 or YCG-Ultra100), cutting head configuration, and table size.
- Order Confirmation – 30% deposit via T/T; production begins after design sign-off.
- Manufacturing & Assembly – Machining, welding, and assembly in the 7,000 m² facility. Average monthly output is 10 sets.
- Factory Acceptance Test – Each machine undergoes rigorous pre-delivery testing; ex-factory inspection is included.
- Shipping – Available under EXW, FCA, FAS, FOB, CFR, CIF, CPT, CIP, DPU, DAP, DDP incoterms. Remaining 70% payment due before delivery.
- Installation & Training – Remote guidance (manual + video) provided. On-site engineer service is available at client’s cost for travel, visa, accommodation, and fee.
- After-Sales Support – One-year warranty (excluding consumables). Free replacement parts shipped for non-manual defects.
Proven Global Use Cases
Thailand – Industrial Precision Part Cutting
An industrial manufacturing client in Thailand uses a YC waterjet cutting machine for precision part cutting. Over 10 years, the machine has delivered reliable performance in a tropical climate and versatility across diverse industrial materials, reducing scrap and improving efficiency.
Mauritius – Yacht Aluminum Plate Cutting
A yacht manufacturer in Mauritius uses a double-gantry 5-axis waterjet (YCWJ-3742S-G2565MAX5DG) to cut marine-grade aluminum plates. The cold cutting process preserves material strength and eliminates burrs, meeting strict marine standards.
Germany – Stone Furniture Manufacturing
A home furniture manufacturer in Germany cuts marble and stone countertops with a YCWJ-3742-L4022/MAX5 machine. The zero-chipping, dust-free operation is ideal for premium furniture workshops.
Austria – Diamond & Crystal Processing
An Austrian client processes Swarovski crystal using YC Waterjet equipment. The cold cutting achieves zero thermal damage, enabling high-yield, complex geometries for the luxury industry.
