What are OEM, Aftermarket and Custom Parts and How Waterjet Cutting Services Produce Them?

Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), Aftermarket Parts Manufacturers and Custom Parts Manufacturers are often used interchangeably and, in fact, are essentially the same thing relative to replacing worn or broken components. They all produce parts for machinery and other products.

OEMs are operations that make or made the original part for the original piece of equipment. Aftermarket and custom part manufacturers are third party operations that manufacture parts and products to precise specifications, often faster and for less money than an original equipment manufacturer.

Companies that effectively partner with replacement part manufacturers typically achieve cost and production time reductions. They optimize their investment in manufacturing with strong support resources to ensure they deliver timely, high-quality products and services to their customers.OEM and Custom Parts

Waterjet Cutting for Parts Manufacturing
Capable of cutting complex shapes and intricate designs in sizes smaller than a dime and larger than a full-size SUV, our computerized waterjet cutting systems produce quality products with the utmost precision and accuracy. Our cutting nozzles fire a thin, high-pressure stream of water that smoothly cuts through virtually any material, including steel, stone and composites, with tolerances of .003.” This ensures that the parts we produce perfectly fit and perform as intended. In addition, because waterjet cutting is a cold process, there is no chance that heat will alter the chemical composition of the material being cut—no burrs, no burns, no melting, no shrinking.OEM parts manufacturer
