In the tableы below, you can find information about algorithms presented in the system. This information is aimed to help you to decide which algorithm to use in your specific case.

Algorithms


  • Number in an algorithm name marks the 20XX year when the algorithm was created. When selecting the algorithm, between several alike, it is always preferable to use the newer algorithm.
  • marks algorithms that can effectively work with cuts populated with allocation forms and linked hybrid appraisers of these cuts. "Effectively work" means this algorithm will try to produce solutions to all allocation forms of your cut. The other algorithms will work only with the first (base) form of the cut.

Recut

AlgorithmWhen to useRelated PagesPrevious Names (if ever renamed)
06. Semicut (Final)

Produces the solutions containing one diamond with the table parallel to the holder plane. Better to run on the polished/semipolished stones with the almost finalized cutting.



13. Cascade-2M

Produces the solutions containing two diamonds. Better to run on the stones in the early stages of diamond processing.



13. Single (Rough)Produces the solutions containing one diamond located and scaled variously within the initial model.

18. Semipolished

Finds all the same solutions as 13. Single (Rough), but selects only one - the best - of them and then adds one more solution to it, which is aligned to the facets of the initial semicut stone and this solution may be better, especially after applying Smart Recut.

It is recommended to run this algorithm on semipolished RBC and use both of produced solutions in Smart Recut later.


18. Single(Recut) (before 5.2.22)

19. Single (FixedForm)

In In-house cut workflow, to produce solutions exactly of the same form (only scale or position may be changed) as the allocation forms registered within the cut. The number of results is limited by the number of allocation forms (but may be fewer). The algorithm searches for the best price and provides the solution with the best price as first in each run. The remaining solutions are searched "near the first" and are displayed just for "widening your options" (if you select to cut variant not because of price only).

Better to use when there is a number of registered allocation forms and you want to bind to them while getting the best price.

20. Single (Recut)

In In-house cut workflow, intended to produce solutions for forms and then search additionally beyond them (but in the limits specified by the appraiser). Better to use for searching for larger mass, taking into account that some fixed form solutions may be excluded from results if the algorithm finds better solutions.In-house cut workflow, In-house cut registration

17. SmartZoom

Allows improving existing solutions by weight (up to a few percent) due to adding some imperfections in shape. These imperfections are extra girdle facets, girdle height change, and girdle shape (roundness) change.

The algorithm can be run for one of the current solutions and works fast (from a few seconds for simple to a couple of minutes for complex models).



Used to get larger mass via additional (after Recut) optimization. If Recut provides a symmetrical change of facets (they are changed together and accordingly to each other) then Smart Recut provides asymmetrical change (facets are changed independently).

Besides larger mass, Smart Recut aims not to allow any (cut or symmetry) grade or performance loss.

#13 provides optimization for Brilliant and Oval cuttings
#19 additionally for any other cuttings.

AlgorithmWhen to useRelated PagesPrevious Names (if ever renamed)
19. SmartNormalizeFor the deletion of excess vertices and facets and making symmetry cut from a scanned model for further optimization usage.Smart Normalize algorithm, In-house cut workflow
19. SmartNormalizeLiteFor the normalization of diamonds with the specific girdle design - in contradiction to the usual SmarNormalize this algorithm does not attempt to make a girdle strictly vertical. Thus, the algorithm may be used for normalizing the designer cuts for later optimizing without changing the form (using the "19. Single (FixedForm)" algorithm of the In-house cut workflow).Smart Normalize Lite algorithm, In-house cut workflow19. SmartNormalizeLite (will be renamed soon)
20. MEC for round bruting

A diamond bruting machine used in a round Brilliant cutting process is only able to produce a vertical girdle of a round shape.

The algorithm finds a cylinder circumscribed around a selected solution which is used for the calculation of the correct position of a stone in a bruting machine and a bruting radius.
