6 THINGS WORTH KNOWING ABOUT 3D PRINTING
600 LAYERS.The Slider frames are produced in super-fine layers, each frame consisting of up to 600 layers. This makes them flexible and strong.
24-HOUR PRINTING. The frames are made using polyamide powder, which is hardened by a laser beam. It takes up to 24 hours to 3D-print the glasses.
30 STEPS OF AFTER-TREATMENT. After 3D printing, the frames undergo more than 30 additional steps before finishing – from glassblasting, through colouring, coating and polishing, to final assembly.
RECYCLING. 3D printing is also called additive manufacturing because you only use the material that makes up the frame. All excess powder is recycled, unlike with acetate glasses, where 85% of the material is disposed of.
ADVANCED 3D PRINTERS. Many people confuse the €1,000 3D printers for hobby usage with the industrial-type 3D printers we use for making our frames. An industrial printer costs more than €400,000! That’s like comparing a toy car with a Porsche.
THE FUTURE. 3D printing was originally used for making prototypes. Today, a company like Boeing produces thousands of 3D-printed parts for their latest airplanes.
