PMMC announced the fabrication of the first two

 diamond metal bond grinding wheels for

ultra-precision grinding

Precision Micro-Machining Center (PMMC) announced on May 29, 2001, the complete design and fabrication of the first two diamond metal bond grinding wheels for ultra-precision and mirror-like surface grinding.

According to Dr. Ioan Marinescu, The Director of the PMMC, the wheels were designed for Electrolytic-In-Process-Dressing (ELID) grinding, a new technology for abrasives processes using very fine diamond and CBN grits, developed in the PMMC as a joint venture with Institute of Chemical and Physical Research (RIKEN) of Japan.

This technology will replace lapping and polishing in addition to improvement of grinding for most of the steel, ceramics and glasses parts.
