Glasses on demand are the future

The company said that since1240Since the invention of the first pair of glasses in 2000, the eyewear industry has experienced considerable development. Today, eyewear designers and opticians use modern computer-aided design (GUJAT) tools for designing and developing eyeglass frames. Integrating additive manufacturing into the eyewear design, customization and on-demand manufacturing process is certainly a logical step. By combining Henkel’s “Digital Acetate” withGENERALofG1/F1Together, these systems open a new era in eyewear manufacturing: digital series can be produced on demand and are fully automated.

Also,GENERALbrand new3DThe printed products have perfect transparency, translucency and brilliant colors, which is perfect for3DEyewear printing represents a huge step forward for the industry.

Cabrio GlassesofBieke Hoëtcommented: “Currently, distributed generation is fully realized3DPrinting glasses is still impossible. But we understand that brilliant colors and transparency are important to our customers. The perfect surface was also a deciding factor. This is why we want opticians as experts to be able to create our creations directly on site so that they can adjust the glasses at the point of sale to offer the customer the ideal pair. “

Another major advantage of this platform is that the entire workflow is automated and requires very little manual intervention.G1/F1The system is equipped with aRFIDLabel box system, different materials have their own designated boxes. The system automatically identifies cartons and materials and selects the best production parameters accordingly.

For opticians, the biggest advantage is automationGENERALThe manufacturing process means that all production steps are recorded. This makes the optician a replicator rather than a direct producer. Opticians can also differentiate themselves from other opticians thanks to special lines and build customer loyalty.

By having full control over the production process, opticians can respond quickly and easily to customer demand without relying on external warehouses or unpredictable supply chains, allowing them to produce frames on demand. Additionally, customers can useGENERALpartnersYourGlasses (YE)Online tools provided to design and customize your own glasses.

to useGENERALof3DPrinting technology and materials from Henkel, the optical workshop is able to produce up to100frames. This is perfect for meeting the needs of opticians.

to useGENERAL DLPtechnical3DPrinted glasses

Until now, traditional3DPrinted glasses have a uniform design style. The main reason is that laser sintered frames are opaque due to their production process and have a matte color. It is therefore almost impossible to produce more filigree frames with the laser sintering process.

Stadlmann“Although the technology is very mature, it is time-consuming and inconvenient in terms of post-processing, and it is not practical to use the powder for in-store distributed production in optical stores or for small batch production of eyeglass labels (test frames),” said Dr.

The company said:G1/F1The system is also optimized for in-store use and is ideal for use in every optician’s studio or directly on the sales floor. It offers a high degree of operational convenience, clean processes, cartridge systems andGENERALThe same print quality as industrial systems.G1/F1The system also provides opticians with special furniture to optimize storage and workflow.

The company says the success of new technologies may be just a small step towards big success, but for customers one thing is clear and future eyeglass owners can look forward to it.3DPrinted glass is entering a new era in design, materials, color vibrancy and unique transparency and translucency.
