Synova recently opened a subsidiary and micro­machining center (MMC) in the Almas Tower in Dubai, the leading trading hub for diamonds. The new DaVinci Lab will play a key role in Synova's growth in the Middle East region and in the diamond industry in particular.

The first 5-axis DaVinci laser diamond-cutting system is already installed and operational. The new diamond center of excellence offers job shop cutting services for rough diamonds ranging from sawing, pie cutting and drilling to faceting and fancy shaping.

DaVinci Diamond Factory is an automated full-faceting solution for round brilliants and fancy shapes where cut-off diamond chips can be reused and are not polished away as in traditional diamond manufacturing.
