✅ Part 1 - Innovation in Eyewear Manufacturing: Technology and Precision with CIELLE
Eyewear manufacturing is a constantly evolving sector, where design, craftsmanship, and advanced technology come together to create high-quality frames.
Over the years, the introduction of CNC and laser machinery has revolutionized the way eyewear is designed and produced, ensuring greater precision, speed, and customization possibilities.
In this context, CIELLE stands out as a benchmark in technological innovation for the eyewear industry, developing state-of-the-art CNC work centers and laser machines.
With years of experience in the sector, CIELLE has designed machines like the BETA 65/45 LASER, a high-performance solution that optimizes production times and guarantees flawless processing.
✅ From Design to Production: The Key Stages
➡️ Design and Prototyping
The production of an eyewear frame begins with the design phase, carried out using 3D CAD software that allows for the definition of:
- The shape of the frame and temples
- The most suitable material (acetate, metal, titanium, etc.)
- Ergonomic and functional characteristics
- Customization options such as laser engraving or textures
Once the design is approved, a prototype is created, often using 3D printing, to test the fit and proportions before mass production.
➡️ Material Selection
- Cellulose acetate: flexible, durable, and ideal for custom coloring
- Metals (steel, titanium, aluminum): perfect for lightweight and slim eyewear
- Innovative materials: carbon fiber, wood, bio-plastics for eco-friendly solutions
✅ Frame Processing: The Role of CNC and Laser Technology
The production phase includes several steps to transform raw materials into a finished pair of glasses.
➡️ Acetate Manufacturing
- High-precision cutting on acetate sheets
- Speed and repeatability of processing for large-scale production
- Possibility of integrating a second laser head for engraving
Thanks to the dual cutting and engraving function, the BETA 65/45 LASER significantly reduces processing times, perfectly aligning the engraving graphics with the frame profile.
➡️ Metal Manufacturing
- CNC laser cutting to achieve the desired shapes
- Precision welding to join the various components
- Surface treatments to enhance durability and finish
