Diamond is the hardest naturally occurring material and presents extremely demanding requirements for precision processing equipment. For small-sized diamonds, nanosecond laser processing is commonly used.

However, as synthetic diamond sizes increase, conventional nanosecond laser processing can suffer from low processing efficiency and high material loss.

Watlaser Water Guided Laser technology confines the laser beam within a high-speed water column, enabling efficient and low-loss precision machining of diamond.

Watlaser has successfully processed a diamond sheet with a thickness of only:

· Thickness: 100 μm

· Cross-sectional size: 10 × 10 mm

According to publicly available information, this result was reported as the first of its kind in the industry.
