capabilities

IDS delivers world-class PDC diamond fabrication through a global network of advanced facilities in the USA, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), and China. Our proprietary processes, unwavering commitment to quality, and collaborative engineering approach set us apart as a trusted partner for clients worldwide.

Facility Roles & Differentiation

China

With over two decades of partnership with a single, trusted manufacturing partner, our China facility is focused on large-scale production and advanced fabrication. The site features state-of-the-art lab testing (including VTL and Instron equipment), non-destructive analytical tools, and ongoing technical development. Recent product launches and updated lab imagery reflect our commitment to continuous improvement and international engineering collaboration.

USA (Houston)

Houston serves as the core of IDS’s intellectual property, engineering, and quality control. Approximately 90% of our fabrication and engineering work is performed here, including post-processing, leaching, and recovery services. This ensures the highest standards of quality and innovation across all our products.

Fabrication Process

 Our proprietary pressing and shaping methods allow us to create any PDC diamond table to precise specifications. Chemical leaching removes cobalt catalysts, significantly improving thermal stability. We also offer recovery and rework of used cutters, providing sustainable and cost-effective solutions. Every batch undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure consistent reliability.
