摘要: A method of forming a cutting element for an earth-boring tool may include directing at least one energy beam surface volume polycrystalline superabrasive material including interstitial disposed in regions between inter-bonded grains material. The includes ablating the with such that portion is removed from first region without any substantial degradation or bonds thereof region.
