Summary
It is the purpose of this project to create an semi automatic to automatic polishing solution for the diamonds that come out of the DaVinci Diamond Factory laser machine. In order to do so, there are key new designs that need to be implemented. These designs center around:
1. Polishing Wheels- A newly designed formula for fine polishing the diamonds within different micron of mesh.
2. Alignment of diamond: Through advanced vision systems- A system needs to be developed to makes sure the diamond is level to the wheel and the angle of attack of the polishing wheel is correct
3. CNC Machine- A newly developed machine to hold both the wheels, vision system and fixture of the diamond needs to be finalized

Description (French)
L’objectif de ce projet est de créer une solution de polissage semi-automatique à automatique pour les diamants qui sortent de la machine laser DaVinci Diamond Factory. Pour ce faire, de nouveaux designs clés doivent être mis en œuvre. Ces designs sont centrés sur : 1. les roues de polissage — une nouvelle formule pour polir finement les diamants à l’intérieur de différents microns de maille. 2. Alignement des diamants : Grâce à des systèmes de vision avancés — Un système doit être développé pour s’assurer que le diamant est au même niveau que la roue et que l’angle d’attaque de la roue de polissage est correct. 3. Machine CNC — Une machine nouvellement développée pour maintenir les deux roues, le système de vision et la fixation du diamant doit être finalisée.
