What is Helium Polish?

The Helium Polish diamond scanner is a new device for cutting factories, laboratories and dealers. When a diamond is scanned with Helium an accurate 3D-model is constructed for the angle of inclination and the azimuth. This 3D model allows accurate visualization and realistic images to be produced that can show small distortions of symmetry and to use the output with various systems of appraisal. The program creates user-defined reports including that you can make with whichever selection you choose from the information in the detailed Helium report.

Existing scanners measure facet angles using a silhouette approach. But a facet has more than just an inclination, to properly describe it, we also need to know its orientation - what we call its azimuth. The Helium 3D-model also includes such elements as additional facets.

What is new in the Helium Polish?

1. Constructing of some round fancy model created by asc sample is improved More details 2. Triangle door pointer is available on pictures in the report More details 3. New universal report for unknown and any cuts is available More details 4. Girdle assymetry is improved More details 5. Autosave STL option More details 6. New parameters for Step Cut / Triangle More details 7.Parameters of curve, head, point and wing facets and illustrations are available in reports for polished rounded fancies More details 8. Constructing of fancies models are improved in the Any Cut mode More details 9. AGS Spread is available in the reports More details 10. Name of facets are added into the illustrations of Round Fancies for semipolished report More details 11. New parameters and report illustrations for Prince & StepCuts: Girdle facets slope & azimuth angles More details

Main features

There are two core distinctions between the Helium scanner and other scanner models: 1. Helium scanner determines with high accuracy both the inclination of a facet and its azimuth. 2. Helium 3D model reveals major and minor symmetry features Open 3D model* of the scanned diamond with major and minor symmetry features

3D model of round brilliant created by Helium polish is enough to estimate optic and minor symmetry quality. You can export 3D model to DiamCalc software and explore it. DiamCalc allows creating photoreal image of Helium Polish 3D model. The system scanns different distortions, for example girdles with a conical shape, and calculating parameters more correct than manual measurements. A very detailed reports displays most physical features of the polished diamond, including "Minimum Inscribed Circle - MIC", Error in radial roundness, Kozibe, Fish eye angle, Spread, Out of shape, Inclination + Azimuth angle of all the halves, Crown and Pavilion painting type and many other.
