Introduction: Why the Industry is Rethinking Manual Polishing
For decades, manual diamond polishing was considered an art — a skilled touch that added the final brilliance to every stone. But in today’s high-volume, precision-driven industry, manual polishing is no longer a sustainable solution.

As the demand for consistency, speed, and finish accuracy increases, the industry is shifting towards automated solutions like DRC’s AutoPolish machine — not as a luxury, but as a necessity.

❌ The Problem with Manual Polishing
Inconsistency Across Stones
Each artisan polishes differently. This leads to variable brilliance, even in stones of identical cut and carat.

High Rejection Rates
Imperfect polishing often results in finish-grade downgrades, costing manufacturers lakhs in rework or rejection.

Skilled Labour Dependency
Finding and retaining skilled polishers is becoming increasingly difficult — especially in Tier-2 and Tier-3 clusters.

Lack of Data
Manual polishing offers no tracking or standardization. No digital feedback, no benchmarks, no calibration.

Why AutoPolish is the Smarter, Scalable Alternative
✅ 1. Machine-Level Consistency
AutoPolish uses pre-programmed pressure, angle, and movement algorithms to ensure each stone receives an identical finish.

Whether it’s your first stone or your thousandth, brilliance stays constant.

✅ 2. Reduced Rejection, Increased Yield
With controlled mechanics and error-free movement, AutoPolish drastically lowers finish-grade losses and rework percentages.

✅ 3. Productivity Without Dependency
AutoPolish lets polishing units scale output without relying on expanding headcount — a critical edge during labour shortages.

✅ 4. Ideal for Both Natural & Lab-Grown
The machine adapts to polishing profiles of CVD, HPHT, and natural diamonds, offering a universal solution for modern workshops.

✅ 5. Future-Ready with Upgrade Paths
Unlike traditional systems, AutoPolish is designed for firmware and process upgrades, making your investment more future-proof.

Real-World Impact: Numbers That Matter
30–35% improvement in finishing consistency across batches

Up to 40% reduction in rejection rate due to polishing errors

Faster throughput by 2x compared to traditional bench setups

Final Word: Polishing is Changing. Are You?

In a trade where brilliance equals reputation, manual polishing introduces risk. AutoPolish eliminates that — not by replacing artisans, but by amplifying reliability at scale.

The future of diamond finishing is machine-led, precision-driven, and DRC-powered.
