Diamond technologies: Customer focused innovation
DD Technologies is the innovation centre of Dutch Diamond Group. It is where new ideas, advanced diamond applications and future product lines are developed. Several of our current product groups began as customer specific development projects. Through close cooperation between our engineers and our customers, these concepts were transformed into reliable products ready for series production.
Collaborative Development
Our development activities have a strong research and engineering focus. We participate in multidisciplinary projects and international development programmes in which specialists from different fields combine their knowledge and experience.
Respect for intellectual property is fundamental to every cooperation. Within clearly agreed boundaries, we share our diamond expertise, processing knowledge and engineering capabilities to create unique technical solutions.
Working with DD Technologies gives customers access to advanced diamond materials, specialised processing methods and almost half a century of experience in industrial diamond applications.
Engineering teams from all participating organisations play an active role throughout the development process. Our compact organisation and direct communication enable efficient decision making and help keep projects moving.
We invite engineers and product developers to challenge conventional thinking and explore what diamond could contribute to their application.
Our Engineering Philosophy
Qualified and experienced people are essential to every technical organisation. At Dutch Diamond Group, their knowledge, curiosity and craftsmanship form the foundation of everything we do.
Our engineers combine creative thinking with an in depth understanding of diamond materials and precision manufacturing. This enables us to address complex technical challenges, develop new product concepts and improve the performance of existing systems.
Our engineering and development activities include:
- Developing innovative concepts based on customer requirements
- Selecting the appropriate diamond material and grade
- Designing diamond components, tools, instruments and assemblies
- Developing customer specific geometries
- Combining diamond with metals, ceramics and other technical materials
- Improving our processing technologies, production efficiency and precision
- Developing prototypes and preparing products for series production
- Creating solutions that strengthen the customer’s technical and commercial position
Component Manufacturing
Together with carefully selected manufacturing partners, we can provide the components and processes required for a complete solution. Our international production network gives us access to specialised technologies while allowing Dutch Diamond Group to manage engineering, quality and final assembly. This combination provides the flexibility required for prototypes, specialist products and recurring production programmes.
Complete Diamond Solutions
Dutch Diamond Group develops and manufactures precision diamond components, instruments, modules and assemblies for demanding high tech applications. Our projects often involve technical requirements for which our combination of diamond expertise, mechanical engineering and precision production provides a decisive advantage.hrough product development, manufacturing and supply chain management, we support customers throughout the complete lifetime of their product.
Mounting and Assembly
In addition to processing complex diamond geometries, we use specialised mounting methods such as brazing, micro welding, bonding and mechanical clamping. Assembly takes place in controlled, clean working environments. We can mount diamond components in materials including tungsten carbide, stainless steel, ceramics and other technical materials. Our quality team performs the required final inspections, prepares the relevant documentation and verifies that every assembly meets the agreed specifications before delivery.
