How much does the Flow International Dynamic Waterjet XD 3D cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc waterjet cutting in this class — not a quote from Flow International. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Flow Dynamic Waterjet XD 3D is a waterjet cutting system listed with pump pressure up to 90,000 psi (6,207 bar), a configurable cutting area of up to 4,000 x 2,000 mm (157 x 79 in) and larger, and a PC-based FlowMaster CAM control with 5-axis kinematic compensation. The listed figures have not been confirmed against a manufacturer document, and several are ranges that depend on configuration, so use them to frame a quotation request.
Pump power is given as 50–100 hp (37–75 kW), and the pressure row names a HyPlex Prime intensifier. Cutting thickness is listed as up to 305 mm (12 in) depending on material, and cutting speed as up to 10,000 mm/min (394 in/min) on thin materials at 90K psi. Both are upper limits. Thick plate cuts far below that feed, so ask for cut data on the actual material and thickness. Positioning accuracy is listed as ±0.051 mm (±0.002 in), and the control's kinematic compensation is what a tilting head depends on to hold bevel geometry.
Weight is approximately 8,000–14,000 kg (17,600–30,900 lb) depending on configuration, which changes foundation and rigging plans from one table size to the next.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Pump pressure listed up to 90,000 psi (6,207 bar) with 50–100 hp (37–75 kW) of pump power
- PC-based FlowMaster CAM control with 5-axis kinematic compensation
- Cutting area configurable up to 4,000 x 2,000 mm (157 x 79 in) and larger
- Listed positioning accuracy of ±0.051 mm (±0.002 in)
Limitations
- The listed figures are unconfirmed and mostly ranges: cutting area, pump power and weight all depend on configuration
- The 10,000 mm/min (394 in/min) cutting speed applies to thin materials at 90K psi only
- No Z travel, head tilt angle or rapid traverse is listed

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The pressure row lists up to 90,000 psi (6,207 bar) and names a HyPlex Prime intensifier, and pump power is given as 50–100 hp (37–75 kW). These listed figures are unconfirmed, so have the pump model, pressure and power stated in the quotation.
02
Maximum cutting thickness is listed as up to 305 mm (12 in) depending on material. Cutting speed is listed as up to 10,000 mm/min (394 in/min) on thin materials at 90K psi, so speed at full thickness will be far lower and should be requested for the specific job.
03
It is listed as configurable, up to 4,000 x 2,000 mm (157 x 79 in) and larger. Machine weight follows the configuration, at approximately 8,000–14,000 kg (17,600–30,900 lb), so settle the table size before planning the floor.
