Where Precision is Required
Within some industries that use diamond tools, there is no room for error. When a task demands a high degree of precision, tool edges must demonstrate a degree of smoothness that is simply not possible using abrasively-faceted tooling. Because Edge Technologies delivers the smoothest of edges without the subsurface damage caused by abrasive machining, we do much of our work in industries requiring ultra-precision diamond tooling with exacting tolerances and strict quality control. Edge Technologies regularly produces tools that are <2 microinches (50.8 nanometer) waviness peak-to-valley, over 90 degrees of arc.

INDUSTRIES & APPLICATIONS
There are many diamond tooling applications that do not require the high degree of precision that Edge Technologies offers, but those that demand the kind of extremely smooth surface finish that our proprietary process produces depend on our expert tooling processes.
Edge Technologies' edges have been documented by the U.S. Navy as "nearly perfect" and of the "very highest quality" as determined by actual machining experience.
Our tools help millions of people every day!
Diamond tooling impacts more than 60% of the U.S population, and an estimated 75% of the global population!
The vision industry relies on high-precision diamond tooling in order to produce the exact curvatures necessary for corrective lenses and contact molds
OPHTALMOLOGY
OPTICS
Optics include far more than just contact lenses and glasses. From the very large to the very small, the field of optics allows us to explore and understand the world we live in.
High-precision diamond tools are the secret ingredient in nearly all the high-precision optics used to research and develop the technologies of tomorrow.
Our tools are used in a wide range of electronics manufacturing, from cellphone cameras and LCD panels to mold tool generation and quantum computers.
Custom single point diamond tools are widely used to fabricate electronic components.
ELECTRONICS
Specific Applications
Research and experience have shown that our tools produce surface finishes that simply cannot be attained with abrasively-faceted tooling. Our customers are pushing the limits of diamond turning requiring super high tolerances and very fine features. Some of the specific tooling applications include:
-
Diffractive lens molds
-
Lenticular arrays
-
Electro-optics
-
Infrared optics
-
Optical crystal turning (zinc selenide, zinc sulfide, calcium fluoride, germanium, silicon)
-
Reflective optics
