Hello, OptiBoard. I am a designer in the United States tooling up for a small run, bespoke eyeglass frame operation. Myself and my partner are experienced craftsmen who have developed some CAD tech to greatly speed the process of producing custom eyeglasses. Right now we have a desktop CNC router for the initial cutting, files and a bevelled dremel head for the detail work, and a polishing wheel strapped onto our trusty angle grinder.
One thing I can not figure out is how to consistently press the nose bridge and curvature into the front face of the frames. I understand this is going to be some sort of heat and pressure process, but I do not know what machine we would need to secure or emulate to achieve this effect. If anybody on OptiBoard has any framebuilding experience or links to resources that can help, please let me know. Also, is there any other important equipment that I might be missing? I am thinking that we will be outsourcing lens cutting to local businesses for the time being since we are such a small operation. Thank you so much,
legodt
