CAMEO®DISK: a patented honeycomb cell structure
Grinding and polishing are key steps in the preparation of a metallographic sample. It is the quality of these steps which will condition and optimise the rest of the process.
At the end of the grinding step, the sample’s aspect must be uniform and regular without altering the inherent flatness and the material.
The CAMEO®DISK’s performances in terms of stock removal reduce the work time on the part, thereby guaranteeing the sample’s inherent flatness, an indispensable condition to succeed with your metallographic analyse.
Stock removal
The honeycomb structure of CAMEO®DISK reduces the surface area in contact with the specimen to be polished. This reduces the pressure required to grind the specimen.
Reproducibility
The profile of the honeycomb cells was specially designed to optimise the circulation of the lubricant from one cavity to another. The abrasion residues are evacuated, guaranteeing a constant abrasive power and therefore a regularity of the result throughout the grinding and polishing steps.
Preparation quality
For a process usually performed with several SiC abrasive papers, LAM PLAN proposes you a single, reusable disc: the CAMEO®DISK. Contrary to SiC abrasive papers, CAMEO®DISK constant abrasion prevents the formation of deep disturbed layers during the first few seconds of grinding.
CAMEO®Disk Platinium
The CAMEO®DISK Platinium are diamond discs (fixed abrasive) which are ideal for a rapid grinding of metallographic samples.
The use of diamond integrated in the CAMEO®DISK Platinium honeycomb cell structure allows preserving a constant stock removal throughout the operation, which prevents the appearance of edge drops, including on samples of heterogeneous hardnesses.
CAMEO®Silver, Gold & Rhodium
The CAMEO®DISK Silver, Gold & Rhodium discs are non-diamond grinding discs developed to be used with Bio DIAMANT® abrasive products (free abrasives.)
Combined with the latest products of the Bio DIAMANT® range, the NEODIA® diamond abrasives will allow treating all types of materials.
The patented CAMEO®DISK honeycomb structure allows the uniform distribution of the periodically pulverised diamond abrasive suspension.
The use of the abrasive suspension is optimised, thereby reducing the diamond product’s consumption.
There are three variants of CAMEO®DISK designed with differing hardness suited for different types of material prepolished.
CAMEO®DMD 
The latest addition to the LAM PLAN range is a grinding disc designed for the preparation of ductile materials for metallography (aluminium and aluminium alloys, copper alloys, etc.).
LAM PLAN CAMEO®DISK DMD is the first diamond disc on the market that allows polishing ranges on ductile materials without abrasive paper.
The CAMEO®DISK DMD uses a new version* of our honeycomb structure combined with our expertise in abrasives. We have optimised the efficiency of the roughing stages for the most ductile metal alloys.
The performance of the new CAMEO®DISK DMD reduces disturbance at the grinding steps, enabling rapid transition to the polishing steps. It is a durable substrate that can be re-used many times with consistent efficiency.

Booster
Booster for CAMEO®DISK
Booster fluid is a new lubricant especially developed to be applied on the CAMEO®DISK Platinium during the polishing step.
Its specific formulation facilitates the use of the CAMEO®DISK Platinium 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and DMD.
Ready-to-use, this new lubricant maintains the efficiency of the CAMEO®DISK constant in time and avoids the use of abrasive stone to regenerate the disc.
The main advantages are:
- Improves the efficiency of the CAMEO®DISK
- Keeps the efficiency constant in time
- Reduces water consumption
- Universal use, can be used on all kind of material
- Ready to use.

To guarantee consistent results, the CAMEO®DISKs need to be adjusted periodically.
Various solutions are available; please contact your advisor.
Today, in most cases, the grinding of ductile materials is a time-consuming and expensive step, carried out using a series of SiC abrasive papers with different grains.
The disadvantages of this technique are as follows:
- The need for different grains to prepare the surface for polishing
- Very short and inconsistent abrasive paper life
- Extensive handling
- High long-term cost
- Large quantities of waste.
