Having to cater to all manner of face shapes, eyewear is an industry that stands to benefit distinctly from 3D printing’s limitless capacity for customization. New designs intended to optimize both comfort and quality of design can be rapidly prototyped using 3D printing and produced at a lower cost and at greater convenience to the customer.The results are lighter, more comfortable eyewear, made with minimal waste incurred. Some companies in the field are even using the attributes of 3D printing production to encourage customers to design their own glasses, excellent for generating brand loyalty and empowering consumers.
