OMAX ProtoMAX Waterjet
  • Name: ProtoMAX Waterjet
  • Manufacturer: OMAX
  • Model Number: ProtoMAX
  • Location: AMMPI Annex 110
The ProtoMAX Waterjet-OMAX is a compact, personal abrasive waterjet system that cuts virtually any material (metal, plastic, glass, wood, stone) up to about 1 inch thick using a high-pressure, garnet-infused water stream, ideal for prototyping, makerspaces, schools, and small businesses due to its ease of use, compact size, and ability to perform intricate, heat-free cuts on a 12x12 inch cutting area. 
System Features
  • Serious cutting power in a small footprint — 30,000 PSI direct‑drive pump delivers best‑in‑class performance in a compact, mobile unit.
  • Cuts almost anything up to 1" thick within a 12"×12" work envelope — metals, glass, plastics, wood, composites, and more.
  • Fast and precise — Up to 100 in/min traverse speed with ±0.005" accuracy for rapid prototyping.
Safety & Protection
  • Lid interlock = automatic pump shutdown when the lid is opened — keeps users safe from high‑pressure spray and abrasive.
  • Built‑in high‑pressure defense — Safety relief valve, pressure transducer, and sealed bellows protect key motion components.
Configurability & Accessories
  • Optimized cutting control — Variable‑frequency drive adjusts pump performance for speed, efficiency, and reduced abrasive use.
  • Flexible media & material capability — Dial in pressure and cutting models for metals, ceramics, plastics, stone, and more.
