No, waterjet cutting is actually the more expensive process. This is due to the slower processing rates, coupled with the large amount of consumable material involved. Although multiple cutting heads, tight nesting capabilities and the ability to layer some materials do help to offset these additional costs, generally speaking, abrasive waterjet cutting is a more costly process than laser cutting.
