Laser and 3D Printing Technologies for Eyewear: Precision and Advanced Design

In the high-end eyewear sector, the challenge is to combine ergonomics, lightness, and style. Our additive manufacturing and laser technologies provide manufacturers with cutting-edge tools to revolutionize the production of fronts, temples, bridges, and nose pads—ensuring superior design freedom and millimetric precision on every metal component.
Integrating our systems into eyewear production workflows means optimizing time-to-market and enhancing the perceived quality of the final product. We offer versatile solutions capable of mastering the processing of reactive metals, polymers, and lenses, giving manufacturers the flexibility needed to lead market trends and meet the technical demands of world-class eyewear.

3D Metal Printing: The Only Solution for Titanium

LMF technology (Laser Metal Fusion on Powder Bed) represents the true frontier for working with premium, ultra-light materials. Titanium, in particular, is extremely difficult—if not impossible—to process using traditional milling or micro-casting methods due to its high reactivity and hardness.
Metal 3D printing is the only technology capable of shaping this material, enabling the production of frames and temples with hollow internal structures or lattice designs. This approach delivers eyewear with unmatched lightness and excellent structural strength, optimizing the ergonomics of bridges and nose pads with a level of precision unattainable through conventional machining.

Multi-Material Laser Marking: Metals, Acetate, and Glass

Our precision laser marking systems are designed to operate with maximum versatility across every eyewear component. In addition to metal applications, our systems can mark acetate and plastics with exceptional clarity, ensuring permanent logos and identification codes without damaging the material surface.
A key added value is lens marking: thanks to dedicated laser sources, it is possible to apply authenticity marks and “invisible” or functional logos directly onto lenses, preserving full transparency and optical integrity.
This capability allows complete frame customization with microscopic definition, transforming eyewear into a fully traceable and distinctive design object.

The versatility of the system allows for microscopic engravings, 3D textures and precision laser cutting, ideal for creating thin perforations and customized components with clean edges that do not require lengthy manual reworking, raising the quality standard of the surface finish.

Laser Welding: Invisible Joints for Bridges and Nose Pads

The durability of eyewear depends on the quality of its joints, especially in critical components. Precision laser welding enables the assembly of bridges and nose pads with absolute aesthetic cleanliness.
Unlike traditional welding, the localized heat input of the laser prevents deformation and thermal discoloration, ensuring invisible and highly resistant structural joints. This technology is essential for assembling ultra-thin components, significantly reducing manual finishing steps and guaranteeing perfectly refined frame connections.
