The production of colored gemstones consists of several steps starting with the mining of the raw material and ending with the sale of the precious stone. Up to some years ago, all steps in between had to be done manually. Within this project we develop processes, which enables the producer to carry out the steps mechanically with high-precision cuttings and maximal volume yield. Furthermore, our software allows to evaluate the cuts and the clarity of the gemstones before the stones are cut.
Stones generated by this way are more beautiful and have a larger revenue. At the same time this helps to bring back the production, which moved to low-wage countries.

The project splits into three sub-projects:

• Optimal Dissection of the Raw Material
• Automated Gemstone Production
• Optimal Faceting of Colored Gemstones
