Mission
Statement.
But why, some say, eyewear? Why choose this as our goal?
And they may well ask, why climb the highest mountain?
We choose to change the production of eyewear. We choose to change the production of eyewear this year and develop the materials, not because it's easy, but because it's hard. Because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we’re willing to accept. One we are unwilling to postpone. And, therefore, as we set sail, we ask you to join our mission for change in the eyewear industry.
The
Labels.
Download a digital production file from the mission eyewear labels and send it to the G1/F1 system. That's it!
Or make custom frames with the help of the online tool from our partner Your Eyewear (YE).
Perfect Materials.
Henkel and GENERA.
Mission Eyewear materials have been extensively tested to fulfill all the needs for eyewear frames. Henkel and GENERA together made a set of materials that allows the printing of clear, translucent, and opaque frames in any color.
Finally, materials with aesthetics, high-quality surface finish, true colors, and durability are available for 3D printed eyewear.
The G1/F1 system includes an RFID tagged cartridge system, one cartridge for each material.
The G1/F1 system automatically identifies the cartridge and the material and optimizes the production parameters accordingly.
A Colorful Universe.
Dive soon into a universe of vivid colors.
From transparent to translucent, all colors are fantastic and not comparable to any 3D printed frame colors you have seen before. This is because our base material is transparent and so you can have the brightest colors.
The G1/F1 System.
The G1/F1 brings the GENERA workflow and automation to your desktop.
The G1/F1 utilizes the GENERA shuttle technology for a clean and safe workflow. The material unit, combined with the material cartridge, ensures a clean and safe handling.
After the printing process, the G1 automatically stores the frame in the shuttle.
The frame is then automatically post-processed by the F1. The frame is cleaned in two cleaning tanks specially designed for secure use.
The F1 uses a mercury flash bulb for curing the frame in inert atmosphere.
The whole workflow is RFID tracked.
G1 | 3D Printer
The 3D printer uses digital light processing (DLP) technology, where resins are polymerized using UV light, layer by layer.
F1 | Post Processing Unit
The post- processing unit where the printed frames are washed, dried, and light cured in a fully automated process.
Shuttle
This integrated transport box system (Shuttle) ensures a clean and safe application without direct contact with resin. The Shuttle holds the building platform and offers UV light protection to avoid any additional exposure.
Cartridges and Material
The cartridge is inserted into the material unit and is automatically paired and identified by the G1/F1 system. All colors and transparent materials are possible.
