The present disclosure relates to the field of Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) diamonds and their processing after fabrication. In particular, the present disclosures provides a method for coring and slicing a CVD diamond product, wherein the CVD diamond product comprises a CVD diamond and graphitized material covering several side-faces of the diamond. The method is carried out by an apparatus that provides a laser beam coupled into a fluid jet. The method comprises, for the coring, cutting the product with the laser beam to remove the graphitized material from the side-faces of the diamond. Further, the method comprises, for the slicing, cutting off one or more slices from the diamond with the laser beam.
A method (10) for coring (21) and slicing (22) a Chemical Vapor Deposition, CVD, diamond product (11), the product (11) comprising a diamond (11a) and graphitized material (11b) covering a plurality of side-faces of the diamond (11a), wherein the method (10) is performed by an apparatus (30) providing a laser beam (14) coupled into a pressurized fluid jet (13), and wherein the method (10) comprises:
An apparatus (30) for coring (21) and slicing (22) a Chemical Vapor Deposition, CVD, diamond product (11) comprising a diamond (11a) and graphitized material (11b) covering a plurality of side-faces of the diamond (11a):
