Abstract: A method may include obtaining project information or data associated with a project. One or more variables associated with the project may be identified based on the project information. One or more studies applicable to the project may be selected based on the one or more variables. One or more models associated with the one or more studies may be run using the one or more variables. In some embodiments, a report including results of each study of the one or more studies based on the results of running the one or more models may be generated.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a method of machining articles from a disc comprising superhard material, such as polycrystalline diamond (PCD) or polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN). The method includes providing a disc having a diameter of no more than 100 mm and a thickness of no more than 10 mm, providing a nesting pattern, scanning the disc to identify and locate any flaws in the disc and subsequently creating a machining program that takes into account said flaws.
