3D printed glasses are high-tech products that are customized using 3D printing technology. The following are its production processes and features:
3D scanning: The user's facial contour is scanned through a high-precision system to build a three-dimensional face model. This step can capture up to 88 data nodes to ensure that the frame matches the user's face shape perfectly.
Parametric design: Based on the scanned data, up to 36 parameters of the frame are optimized to achieve the ultimate fit and comfortable wearing.
Personalized customization: Users can choose the style and color of glasses according to their personal preferences, and even have exclusive engraving on the temples, as well as enter optical information to complete personalized customization.
Professional printing: Currently, the main technologies used for 3D printed glasses include EOS and HP, which can achieve high-quality production results. For example, the EOS FORMIGA P110 model has become one of the first choices for 3D printed glasses due to its excellent laser configuration.
Market prospects: The size of the 3D printed glasses market is expected to grow from US$182 million in 2018 to US$3.4 billion in 2028. This shows that 3D printed glasses have great growth potential in the future.
User experience: Although 3D printed glasses provide highly personalized services, some users have encountered some problems during use, such as customization for children with small head circumference and meeting special needs such as high and low ear adjustment, as well as some quality and fit issues.
Mass production: With the continuous advancement of technology, some companies have been able to use 3D printing technology for mass production. For example, Luxexcel has demonstrated the stability and scalability of their VisionPlatform process, which can flexibly create large quantities of personalized lenses.
In summary, 3D printed glasses provide users with highly customized eyewear solutions by combining advanced scanning technology and personalized design. With the maturity of technology and the development of the market, 3D printed glasses are expected to bring more comfortable and personalized wearing experience to more users in the future.
