Plan rough diamonds with HP Carbon
Cut Evolution
Compare the diamonds that different allocation plans would yield, by photoreal images, video, scores and price. Uploading a project is free; you pay for each planned diamond you render.
Needs an HP Carbon license
Diamond models and solutions are uploaded from HP Carbon, and the photoreal service renders lifelike images and videos that look like DiBox 2.0 media, with color saturation and distribution, grades and 4C parameters.
The price of each rendered diamond depends on the rendering mode and on your price list.
Which price list is yours
The service needs HP Carbon Smart Recut or Smart AnyCut. For a D–Z diamond, the color estimation product on your license decides the price list. Each price list has its own rendering prices and a case study from upload to the winning solution.
| HP Carbon products | Price list | Rendering |
|---|---|---|
| Smart Recut or Smart AnyCut | Without Absorption Spectrum | without an absorption spectrum |
| Smart Recut or Smart AnyCut with DZ Lite 0.6, 1.6 or Unlimited | Without Absorption Spectrum | DZ Lite spectrum picked by the color grade |
| Smart Recut or Smart AnyCut with DZ+ | DZ | DZ+ spectrum, color grades, saturation and distribution |
DZ Lite clients pay by the Without Absorption Spectrum price list, from €0.03 per planned diamond. A plan rendered with a DZ Lite spectrum costs the same as a plan without a spectrum. Only a DZ+ spectrum is charged by the DZ price list.
A fancy color diamond is charged by the fancy color mode of the HP Carbon project.
| Fancy color mode | Price list | Rendering |
|---|---|---|
| Standalone | Fancy Color Standalone | fancy color spectrum |
| Cutwise | Fancy Color Cutwise | fancy color spectrum and the Cutwise fancy color grade |
An HP Carbon license also comes with a bonus balance that pays for uploads and rendering, see How you pay.
