Diamonds can be made in a lab. They start with a robotic laser.
It cuts slivers from a chunk of real diamond to produce tiny wafers they’re five millimetres wide and a quarter millimetre thick. That's as thin as a human hair. The laser blackens the diamond so they place
it on a steel block for polishing. They rim the way for with epoxy so it doesn’t slide around. The epoxy
requires an activator so they brush it on next the chemical reaction causes the epoxy to solidify in a few
seconds. They put the block on to a threaded rod that's attached to a metal arm. They lower the arm
with the diamond wafer onto a wheel that’s swirling with diamond grit. They clear the crystal and move it
to a metal chamber to grow. watch the video to find out more

Hi Neika
ReplyDeleteI think next time instead of adding the link you could add in the video or at least some photos to make it look interesting.I like how you explained how they make it.
