Precision, Versatility, and Reliability for Defence Applications
Engineered to meet the demands of defence manufacturing, OMAX waterjets go beyond expectations. OMAX waterjets cut stainless steel, ballistic glass, and much more with the flexibility and precision required for the defence industry. Designed to meet and exceed industry demands, OMAX provides a cutting-edge solution for defence manufacturing.
A Booming Defence Market
Global defence spending is surging, with an estimated $2.4 trillion allocated worldwide. In the UK alone, the 2025 defence budget is projected at £59.8 billion, up from £53.9 billion in 2024. As AI, autonomous systems, and next-generation technologies advance, manufacturers have more opportunities than ever to enter the defence sector. OMAX waterjet technology plays a key role in this growth, particularly in the production of mission-critical components.
Unmatched Flexibility & Precision
OMAX waterjets process a wide range of materials without creating heat-affected zones (HAZ), preserving the integrity of the material. Unlike other cutting methods, OMAX waterjets also eliminate thermal distortion, making them ideal for high-precision defence applications. Their capabilities include:
- Cutting external geometries for near net shape (NNS) production
- Processing round parts like a lathe and square parts like a milling machine
- Cutting intricate designs like an EDM and precise slots like a broach
With five advanced product lines, OMAX offers a solution for any defence manufacturing requirement.
Driving Profitability & Efficiency
Unlike traditional machining methods, OMAX waterjet cutting tools do not wear out. This eliminates tool replacement costs and downtime, allowing manufacturers to maximise production and reduce expenses.
Defence manufacturers often work with challenging-to-machine materials that are costly and wear down conventional tools. OMAX waterjets provide an efficient, cost-effective solution, especially for NNS processing, producing component blanks ready for further machining with minimal material waste.
Innovating for the Future of Defence
The defence industry is constantly evolving, and OMAX waterjet technology is at the forefront of innovation. With advanced control software, OMAX supports Industry 4.0 integration, cybersecurity, robotics, and data analytics—delivering cutting-edge solutions to meet tomorrow’s challenges.
