Tom Moses, executive vice president and chief laboratory and research officer of Gemological Institute of America (GIA), announced on 7 September 2015 during Israel's Diamond Week that GIA plans to open a diamond synthesis facility for research in New Jersey in January 2016.
GIA selected OGI's Titanium 5Xlaser-cutting system for CVDs as their featured system in the new GIA diamond synthesis facility in New Jersey. According to OGI, Titanium 5X is ideal for sawing hard materials including natural diamonds, CVD, PCD, MCD, CBN, PCBN and gemstones and will provide the GIA research facility with the ability to process CVD precisely and safely, from coring, seeding to planning, drawing and executing laser sawing of any shape.
Daniel Benjano, CEO of OGI Systems Ltd., said, "We are very pleased that GIA has chosen us as their featured laser technology. This is a continuation of GIA equipping themselves with OGI technology recently. This cooperation between OGI and GIA confirms OGI's status as the leading global diamond technology company."
