NOVELTY - Process involves (a) increasing absorbance of an unconverted section of a thin polymer film by at least one conditioning laser pulse to produce a lasered section; (b) melting the lasered section at a temperature of 4000K by a conversion laser pulse; and (c) quenching the melted lasered section to form an initial quenched section comprising Q-carbon, diamond, and/or graphene, where the step (a) through the step (c) occur in an environment at ambient temperature and pressure, and the polymer film comprises a polymer chosen from polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polystyrene and/or polypropylene. USE - The process is useful for coating an object and making a three-dimensional object. ADVANTAGE - The process meets the need to produce diamond and diamond-like films in an environment of ambient temperature and pressure that eliminates the expensive step of using pulsed laser deposition to make the initial film, the need for a process to readily coat an object and convert the coating to a diamond or diamond-like coating and need to be able to readily build specialized diamond and diamond-like tools and objects. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are also included for: (1) a process (I) for coating an object involving (a1) applying a thin polymer film to at least a portion of the object; (b1) increasing the absorbance of an unconverted section of the thin polymer film by at least one conditioning laser pulse to produce a lasered section; (c1) melting the lasered section at a temperature of 4000K by a conversion laser pulse; (d1) quenching the melted lasered section to form an initial quenched section comprising Q-carbon, diamond, and/or graphene; (e1) adjusting the object with the applied thin polymer film and the at least one quenched section and/or the laser positioning mechanism such that the conditioning laser pulse strikes a subsequent unconverted section of the thin polymer film; (f1) increasing the absorbance of the subsequent unconverted section of the thin polymer film by the at least one conditioning laser pulse to produce a subsequent lasered section; (g1) melting the subsequent lasered section at a temperature of 4000K by the conversion laser pulse; (h1) quenching the melted subsequent lasered section to create a subsequent quenched section comprising Q-carbon, diamond, and/or graphene; and (i1) repeating steps (e1) through (h1) until a final desired portion of the thin polymer film is converted to the finished quenched section, where the finished quenched section comprises the initial quenched section and each of the subsequent quenched sections, where the steps (b1) through (d1) and steps (f1) through (h1) occur in an environment at ambient temperature and pressure, and where the polymer film comprises a polymer chosen from polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, PTFE, polystyrene and/or polypropylene; and (2) a process (II) for making a three-dimensional object involving (a2) applying a first layer of a thin polymer film on a substrate; (b2) increasing the absorbance of an unconverted section of the thin polymer film by at least one conditioning laser pulse to produce a lasered section; (c2) melting the lasered section at a temperature of 4000K by a conversion laser pulse; (d2) quenching the melted lasered section to form an initial quenched section comprising Q-carbon, diamond, and/or graphene; (e2) adjusting the thin polymer film and the at least one quenched section and/or the laser positioning mechanism such that the conditioning laser pulse strikes a subsequent unconverted section of the thin polymer film; (f2) increasing the absorbance of the subsequent unconverted section of the thin polymer film by the at least one conditioning laser pulse to produce a subsequent lasered section; (g2) melting the subsequent lasered section at a temperature of about 4000K by the at least one conversion laser pulse; (h2) quenching the melted subsequent lasered section to form a subsequent quenched section comprising Q-carbon, diamond, and/or graphene; (i2) repeating steps (e2) through (h2) until a final desired portion of the thin polymer film is converted to a finished quenched section, where the finished quenched section comprises the initial quenched section and each of the subsequent quenched sections; (j2) applying a subsequent layer of the thin polymer film in a predetermined pattern to form the three-dimensional object and repeating steps (b2) through (i2); and (k2) repeating step (j2) until the three-dimensional object is completed, where steps (b2) through (d2) and steps (f2) through (h2) occur in an environment at ambient temperature and pressure.
