The Highly Ridiculous Over-Engineering of the Diamondback Nozzle – By Zack Freedman

Zach Freedman tours Diamondback’s Utah facility to see how synthetic diamond is transformed into polycrystalline diamond (PCD) and used to manufacture their Diamondback 3D-printer nozzles. He explores the extreme heat and pressure behind the process, why PCD’s durability and thermal conductivity make it ideal for abrasive printing materials, and how Diamondback’s employee-driven manufacturing and 3D-printing culture helped inspire the nozzle in the first place.
