Modern materials cutting operations are traditionally part of the research priorities and also in the production activities of ISIM Timișoara. In the last decade, within the institute, a special emphasis was placed on the development of the abrasive water jet cutting process as well as on implementing the research results obtained into industrial activities. The paper presents own achievements and contributions of ISIM to the development of the abrasive water jet cutting process in the following directions: cutting technologies for materials with different characteristics, innovative new patentable solutions regarding the cutting process respectively important modules in the composition of the water jet cutting equipment, ways to recycle used abrasive waste, solutions to streamline the process. The proposed solutions have been verified with good results in industrial applications, or have been proposed for analysis and development together with specialists in the field from important research units.
