challenge
Create glasses with an exclusive design, highly customized according to the customer’s style needs.
Solution
A digital tool developed specifically to support the design phase, useful for enhancing the creative process and reducing errors, which guarantees a production output in 3D Printing.

Scenario
The creation of custom-made glasses can transform from a rare and expensive luxury into a business opportunity for artisan workshops and opticians who today limit themselves to modifications on Mass Production products.
The Tool
The Protocube Reply team has developed parametric design software that allows the designer to generate a new model of glasses in just a few minutes. The guided procedure simplifies the three-dimensional modeling process and avoids the risk of generating errors, while leaving the designer full creative freedom. In just a few minutes, you get a 3D model of customized glasses ready for 3D printing production.

Strenghts
Key functions of the software:
- Assisted procedure for the creation of the frame
- Automatic verification of the closing movement of the temples
- Texture mapping of the frame
- Management of models, variants and versions
The advantages:
- Design times with high customization capacity reduced to a few minutes
- Automatic control of the model during the design and management of errors
