Diamond turning is a process of mechanical machining of precision elements using Computer Numerical Control (CNC) lathes equipped with natural or synthetic diamond-tipped cutting elements. This process is also known as Single-Point Diamond Turning (SPDT). The process of diamond turning is widely used to manufacture high-quality aspheric optical elements from glass, crystals, metals, acrylic and other materials. Optical elements produced by the means of diamond turning are used in optical assemblies in telescopes, TV projectors, missile guidance systems, scientific research instruments, and numerous other systems and devices.
