Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) is a synthetic diamond product that is produced by sintering together selected diamond particles with a metal matrix using sophisticated technology. The diamond and matrix, when sintered together under high temperatures and pressures, creates a PCD tool blank that is high in uniform hardness and is abrasive resistant in all directions.

The PCD blank is used in many different fields including aviation, the car industry, electronics,and the wood and stone industry. It applies to varous materials such as nonferrous metal, tungsten carbide, ceramic, nonmetal and composite material.

Materials recommended for cutting with PCD:
Epoxy resins
Gold and silver
Ceramics, unfired
Plastics and rubber
Carbon and graphite
Graphite composites
Fiberglass composites
Chipboard and fibreboard
Zinc and magnesium alloys
Aluminum and aluminum alloys
Copper, brass and bronze alloys
Tungsten carbide, presintered and sintered
