“…In this regard, among all cutting technologies [ 205 , 206 , 207 ], abrasive waterjet (AWJ) can successfully achieve all the thermo-mechanical and radiation protection objectives [ 82 , 208 ]. In [ 209 ], factorial experiments were designed and systematically conducted to characterise the AWJ processing parameters and the machining capability. Moreover, the limitation of dust production and secondary waste generation was addressed since they are important aspects for radiation protection and radioactive waste management.…”

This review paper aimed to draw the red line passing through almost 25 years of research on waterjet cutting carried out at WJ_Lab, the waterjet laboratory of the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Politecnico di Milano. The purpose was not to just historically analyse the obtained scientific results by themselves but to make them even more useful by introducing the concept of the waterjet digital twin passing through the accuracy improvements due to microAWJ. This strategy effectively creates synergy among the topics and gives the opportunity to researchers in this field to both have an example of how research in industrial manufacturing processes can be guided by scientific and industrial needs, at least from the author’s point of view, and to appreciate how it can be made useful for further improvements by introducing a powerful concept as the digital twin.
