Are lab grown diamonds used much for industrial applications such as cutting heads and blades?

Yes. Cutting blades are in the middle of the industrial spectrum. They are generally 2-5mm in dimension and need to be grown relatively clean, but color does not matter, so they are commonly yellow or brown (those colors grow faster than white or blue).

See my other post for other industrial applications: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13088523
