In principle, combinations with all CNC-controllable cutting processes are conceivable (plasma, oxyfuel, waterjet), but there are only a few combinations that have actually been implemented industrially. The reason for this usually lies in the basic properties of the respective cutting processes. For example, a waterjet cutting system requires a water basin, which is disruptive for a laser cutting system, and so on. The use of a water mist in laser cutting, on the other hand, is a well-known way of cooling the material during the cutting process.
