Caption: Cracking and frequent replacement can become an unnecessary part of running a waterjet shop.
MDI’s Waterjet Brick 7148 is designed with flexible polyethylene and curved C-Fluting to better distribute impact and absorb energy.
Less focus on replacing bricks. More focus on getting the job done.

Ability Bash 2026 is in the books.

One room. One night. One shared belief that everyone deserves a real career.
Thank you to every guest, sponsor and volunteer who showed up for MDI and Unified Work. You made it the biggest night of the year.

Swipe for a few favorite moments. 💙

Standard waterjet bricks can crack, wear down, and leave you dealing with more splash back and more frequent replacements.

MDI’s Waterjet Brick 7148 is engineered differently. Made from polyethylene with curved C-Fluting, it is designed to absorb and disperse jet energy rather than sending it straight back.

Built in Minneapolis with 60+ years of plastics manufacturing experience, the 7148 is made for waterjet shops that need a more durable solution.

The Ability Bash is more than a fundraiser. It is a room full of people who believe work should be open to everyone.

On Tuesday, September 15, MDI will bring together business leaders, community partners, employees, and supporters at the Metropolitan Ballroom and Clubroom in Golden Valley.

The evening helps expand workplace equality and career resources for people with disabilities. It is also a good reminder that progress happens when people choose to show up for it.
