Halcyon is one of the leading makers in the field of PCD end mill manufacturing. We have registered the patent for the Z-TEC spiral PCD end mill technology developed in-house by Halcyon. The Z-TEC end mill technology allows us to produce PCD end mills with a high helix angle along the cutting edge, minimizing the limitations of PCD end mills concerning helix angle and cutting length. The Z-Tec Spiral PCD end mill has a lifespan that is 15 times longer than that of carbide end mills and 3 times longer than that of conventional PCD end mills. The Z-TEC spiral PCD end mill technology also enables increased cutting speeds, improves surface flatness, reduces cutting forces and processing time, and most importantly, lowers the cost per product.

Halcyon Technology Vietnam designs and manufactures PCD cutting tools, a type of cutting tool that significantly enhances production efficiency. PCD cutting tools can be used for various machining processes, simultaneously improving product quality and reducing production costs.

CVD Diamond Tool is a cutting tool made with synthetic single crystal diamond (SCD) that is lab-grown from chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method using a similar process to CVD coating of carbide cutting tools. A diamond seed is placed in a special vacuum furnace where a hydrocarbon gas (usually methane) is injected. A microwave beam then heats up the gas into its plasma state, where the carbon atoms separate from the molecule and deposit onto the seed. Layer by layer, the carbon atoms form pieces of diamond. The process can take up to several weeks depending on the desired size. CVD Diamond Tool is considered to be superior to monocrystal diamond (MCD) tool due to crystal structure and growth direction. Although the raw material is more costly, a CVD Diamond Tool is able to produce a better surface finish on the part. CVD Diamond Tool is a highly specialized cutting tool and requires experts to design and manufacture properly.

There are two solutions for reusing PCD-tipped tools: 1. Regrinding the PCD cutting edge and 2. Re-tipping with new PCD tips. So how do we choose between these two solutions?
