How to create a diamond abrasive surface on a metal strip

2005

Within the dental field we currently use a small strip of metal (.0015 thick) with diamonds on it for a final finishing. I would like to know the process which is used to adhere the diamonds to the strips. We are currently working on our own design of a finishing strip and would like to get a knowledge and a source for the diamond application to our finishing strip. Any help would be helpful..

In this forum you may get some vague ideas about plating with nickel and adding the particles in a certain moment. But very few people in the world dominate that specialty to the fine detail and I doubt any of them will be willing to disclose it for free. R&D means exactly that: not only search, but research and develop. And it is more easily said than done.
