American artists include painters, photographers, designers, sculptors, and many other talented specialists.  From wall art to custom product design and equipment manufacturing, Double R’s artisans are proud to help customers bring their artistic visions to life through waterjet cutting.

Uniquely, the high-powered, jet-stream technique of waterjet technology has been useful in sculpting and transforming an array of materials into works of art for decades across America.

Here are the top three reasons to appreciate waterjet cutting as an artform:

  1. Waterjet Cutting is an Artistic Technique Used by Skilled Manufacturers.

Put simply, art is the creation of something unique and one-of-a-kind. Custom fabrication through the waterjet-cutting process provides both beauty and functionality.

In addition to one-of-a-kind wall art and custom furniture, the abrasive waterjet technique can help ensure the sturdiness and preciseness for essential products and equipment, such as fencing, gates, stairs, railings, stall doors, signage, shutters, and other manufactured items.

  1. Waterjet Cutters Can Transform Soft Plastics or the Toughest Titanium.

Wonderfully, waterjet cutters are not limited to one type of art medium. Skilled waterjet cutters can drill and cut unique designs, shapes, angles, quality edges, and holes into materials including, but not limited to: Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Copper, Granite, Nylon, Mild Steel, Marble, Ceramic Tile, Glass, Polycarbonate, Polystyrene, Fiberglass, Brass, and Carbon Fiber.

In addition to celebrating America’s birthday this July, the team at Double R Manufacturing is recognizing the American ingenuity behind the art of sandblasting.

American soldier and inventor Benjamin Chew Tilghman filed a patent for the sandblasting process around 1870.  He developed this creative idea for paint and rust removal while serving in the Union Army during the American Civil War.

Through the years and around the world, Tilghman’s sandblasting technique has been refined for a vast array of applications, projects, artistic pieces, products, and equipment.

3 Ways Sandblasting Ignites Creativity in Manufacturing

Double R Manufacturing is proud to carry out the creative visions of an American inventor by performing skillful workmanship through sandblasting processes.  Here are a few ways sandblasting serves the manufacturing needs of today’s Americans:

  • Usefully, thanks to the process created by Tilghman, today’s artisans can use sandblasting techniques to clean dirt, rust, corrosion, and contaminates off tough surfaces and metals. This surface treatment process is suitable for cleaning and giving new life to old pieces or creating brand new products and equipment
  • Brilliantly, through a high-speed stream of air and solid particles, the abrasive blasting technique can also smooth a rough surface in preparation of sealants, coatings, or other applications. At Double R Manufacturing, many of our projects require sandblasting prior to applying a final powder coating to ensure superior surface quality, longevity, aesthetic appeal, and corrosion prevention.
  • Creatively, the art of sandblasting allows Double R’s sandblasters to transform a rusty piece of metal into a shiny work of art. By propelling the high-speed stream towards a sturdy piece of steel or metal, Double R’s experts can create a desired effect, etch special designs, and forcibly shape a surface to craft an artistic masterpiece.
