Carved in Stone

Bear carved in stone using a high pressure water jet cutter. For the Macro Mondays challenge: Stone. Area shown is about 55mm wide.

 

High pressure water cutting, also known as waterjet cutting, uses a stream of water at pressures typically ranging from 30,000 to 90,000 PSI to cut through various materials, including stone, metals, plastics, and even food, without the need for blades. This method is valued for its ability to create clean, precise cuts while minimizing heat damage to sensitive materials.

 

Happy Macro Monday!
