Machining Carbon Fiber

Medical Parts Manufacturing

A parts manufacturer's proprietary thermoplastics are engineered using selective carbon or glass fiber reinforcements and thermoplastic polymers, achieving maximum strength and toughness for critical Medical & Biotechnology applications such as targeting guides, external fixation devices and halos.

Using a competitor's diamond coated end mill, they were experiencing severe "peeling off" of the diamond film causing premature failure of the cutting tools.

With the competitor's diamond coated tool they were able to get only ten parts per tool. With CVD Diamond Corporation's diamond coated tools they routinely get 30-40 parts per tool.

Our tools result in a savings of approximately $500 per tool used.

Aerospace Application

An aerospace parts manufacturer uses our diamond coated end mills to trim structural commercial aircraft parts.  Prior to switching to CVD Diamond's tools, they used diamond cut routers.  Switching to the diamond coated tool allowed them to take an 18 hour job to 9 hours of machining time, easily paying for the cost of the diamond coated tool.
