At DiamTech, we believe that in the precision diamond tooling industry, the key to advancement is through research and development. In a field that is already working with sub micron and nanometre tolerances, where form tolerance improvement of 1/10th of a micron represents a “mile stone” it can sometimes feel like true advancements are unachievable.
How do you predict the unpredictable? How do you bring consistency in a process that seems highly inconsistent? Research is the answer. A diamond’s crystal structure may be unpredictable but with experience, we have come to realize that by using a consistent manufacturing protocol and analysing the end results, modifications can be brought to the manufacturing process to obtain highly consistent and repetitive results.
We believe there is always a better way to do things. Observation of aspects such as tool wear pattern, crystal structure properties, form deviation analysis and thermic affects can provide clues that can result true innovations, helping to create tools that perform better and longer.
With the constantly rising demand for SCD tooling, most manufacturers are too busy with production or lack the man power to accord sufficient importance to R&D. Many theories can be assumed, but until they are proven with consistent results they will always remain “experimental”
This is where DiamTech can help, with our already broad knowledge of the SCD tool manufacturing process, we can assist or undertake almost any diamond tool relevant research project you may have in mind. We can even suggest fact based theories which we believe could potentially be the next “mile stone” of our industry!
