What is Helium Polish?
The Helium Polish diamond scanner is a modern 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 ?
October 23, 2015 - Helium Polish 5.6.79.1 is released.
- New cutting type HEART to differ from Pear.
- Improvement of TRIANGLE determination. We still are working under correct width/length and table width/length calculation - this will be added in next version.
- New parameter ALN is added to reports.
- Wrong determination of some samples as Pear instead of Oval is fixed.
- Some other improvements of determination of facets type for RBC.
- Problem with missing values for Cushion in Grouping pictures is fixed.
- Problem with visible and invisible edges color is fixed.
- Change in calculation of ideal position for pictures Pavilion/crown painting and deviation of pavilion/crown main facets azimuths angles from their ideal positions for the round brilliant.
- Bug with wrong detection of semi-polished Heart is fixed.
- Culet determination is changed to fix problem where extra-facet was determined as culet.
- Bug with export of DMC from Helium Polish is fixed.

Main 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.
Very detailed reports
display most of 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. |

Helium Polish reports
Helium Polish software allows creating and customizing reports
for round brilliant, marquise, oval, pear, princess, step cuts, cushion, radiants and any cuts for polished and semipolished diamonds. More examples of reports:

*Time of work is measured by the diamonds: symmetrical RBC 0.55 ct or asymmetrical RBC 0.37 ct. Time of build mode depends on quantity of dust on the stone surface and mass and cutting form of stones, it can change from time to time within the limits of 5 sec.
Time is measured on Helium Polish system HP 8.5 and computer AMD Dual Core 2.4GHz, 2Gb RAM or Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 2.13Ghz, 4Gb RAM.
