General
Saxton can produce waterjet-cut metal letters in virtually any letter style using electronic artwork. Waterjet-cut letters have sharp inside corners and more precise details than router-cut or cast metal letters. A wide range of materials and finishes provide numerous design options for dimensional letters.
Unlimited by the range of letter styles, waterjet-cut letters are ideal for complex shapes and curves of custom letter styles.
Other applications for waterjet-cutting may be joined or script letters and pierced logos.
To accommodate backlighting or expose the installation wall, waterjet-cut letters may be cut from the background of a sheet of metal.
