The Introduction

NCD Technologies is changing the Micro Tool Industry

The future avenues offer a diverse landscape
of applications that will eventually be explored.

NCD Technologies proprietary processing technique results in a well-adhered, conformal coating that does not sacrifice the inherent strength of the tooling involved. NCD Technologies has focused its efforts in the micro-endmill sector and is developing relationships with key micro-tooling manufacturers, as well as a variety of the micro-tooling end users. As NCD Technologies progresses and adapts its technology, it will become a principal supplier of diamond coatings on micro-tooling. Even more, NCD Technologies plans to adapt its processing techniques to all sizes and shapes of cutting tools. However, coating of cutting tools with diamond will always be NCD Technologies flagship product. In addition to this central application, NCD Technologies will expand its technical repertoire within additional fields as the technology is validated.

Our Technology

Why our products are better

Improved Coating Adhesion

Our trademark pretreatment extends tool life and production efficiency by reducing the propensity for delamination of the coating during aggressive machining processes.

Decreased Coating Thickness

This innovative and extremely thin coating helps maintain the precise geometry and sharpness of the micro cutting tool, all the while preventing the cutting edge of the tool from becoming blunt or misshapen.

Increased Tool Strength

Unlike standard pretreatment processes that can weaken a micro tool, NCD’s proprietary pretreatment actually strengthens the tool, thereby extending the tool’s working life as well its overall consistency.

Leads to

Increased Tool Life - 10-15x

Because tool life is longer, there is less downtime and fewer tool replacements. This equals better manufacturing efficiency and a more cost-effective production environment.

Increased Machine Speed - 2-10x

Increased machine speed allows more parts to be produced in less time, enabling higher productivity and competitiveness within the micro manufacturing arenas.

Improved Part Quality

Diamond coating reduces burring and chattering during machining processes, which results in higher quality part finishes, and allows for finer scale micro machining endeavors.
