Nanophorm has experience with nearly every "diamond-machinable" material. Diamond-machinable materials are those that can be cut with a diamond to achieve incredible surface finish and mechanical accuracy. A listing of such materials follows.
Many materials that can't be diamond turned can be plated with a material that is, such as high-phosphorous electroless nickel or one of many copper alloys.

Examples of components directly machined from "diamond-turnable" materials: aluminum, left and acrylic, right
Examples of components machined from materials that are not "diamond-machinable" but plated with one that is: electroless-nickel-plate. Here steel substrates have been plated with special nickel and then diamond turned. At top is an on-axis asphere. At bottom is an off-axis paraboloid
