Industrial-design student David Minich has started a new company that makes custom designed 3D printed eyewear.
I was amazed when I first saw Makerbot (one of the first commercially available 3D Printers), but since then have gotten far more advanced like the one that Z Corp has developed. It will be interesting to see what the future holds.
“Make Eyewear, a website that sells eyeglasses hot off of a Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) machine. Launched Monday, the site offers “Infinitely Customizable Eyewear” through two services: pre-designed frames with showy shapes (and names like Molten and Fusion to match), available for $150 in assorted colors and sizes; and frames you design yourself for $450.
The frames are sintered, one layer at a time, in nylon, through the 3-D printing service Shapeways, then coated in a special material for water resistance.”
