Laser Glass Cutting: A Smarter Alternative To Traditional Waterjet Cutting

As the demand for high-quality glass products continues to grow, manufacturers need to rethink traditional methods. Laser glass cutting machines provide the perfect balance of efficiency, cost savings, and superior quality, making them the best alternative to waterjet cutting in many industries.

Glass processing has always been a demanding industry. Whether it’s ultra-clear glass for electronics, tempered glass for architecture, or decorative glass for furniture

 and crafts, manufacturers require a cutting solution that combines precision, efficiency, and flexibility.

For years, waterjet cutting machines have been widely used for glass cutting. However, with the rise of advanced laser technology, many businesses are now turning to laser glass cutting machines as a more cost-effective and reliable solution.

Why Choose Laser for Glass Cutting?

Compared to waterjet, laser cutting offers unique advantages:

  1. High Precision & Clean Edges

    • Laser beams deliver extremely fine cuts with smooth edges, reducing the need for secondary polishing.

    • Ideal for thin glass (e.g., 2mm–6mm ultra-clear glass) where precision is critical.

  2. Non-Contact & Minimal Damage

    • Unlike waterjet, which may cause micro-cracks or require abrasive particles, lasers process glass without direct mechanical force.

    • This ensures less material waste and higher product quality.

  3. Lower Operating Costs

    • Waterjet systems require high-pressure pumps, abrasive materials, and large amounts of water.

    • Laser systems, by contrast, have lower consumables and maintenance costs, offering a higher ROI for long-term production.

  4. Flexibility Across Industries

    • Our CO2 and ultrafast laser systems can handle ultra-clear glass, display glass, tempered glass, laminated glass, and even coated or patterned glass.

    • Applications range from electronics (screens, touch panels) to architecture (windows, facades), and home décor (mirrors, glass crafts).


Laser vs. Waterjet: A Quick Comparison


Feature Laser Glass Cutting Waterjet Glass Cutting
Cutting Precision High, smooth edges Good, may require post-polishing

A European glass processing company recently upgraded its production line by replacing a traditional waterjet cutting machine with our laser glass cutting system.


The customer had been using waterjet technology for years, but faced several challenges:

High operating costs due to abrasives and large water consumption

Frequent maintenance of pumps and nozzles

Slower cutting speed when processing thin glass sheets

After testing our laser glass cutting machine, the customer immediately noticed the difference. The laser provided:

Smooth and precise edges without secondary polishing

Lower production costs, as no abrasives or water are required

Higher efficiency, especially for 2–6mm ultra-clear and tempered glass

Eco-friendly operation with minimal waste

Since adopting the laser solution, the customer has expanded its applications into architectural glass, home décor, and display glass markets, while reducing overall costs by nearly 40%.

Customer Benefits

Our clients who switched from waterjet to laser systems report:

  • 30–50% reduction in operating costs

  • Higher precision for high-end products

  • Faster turnaround times

  • Cleaner, eco-friendly production process
