Key Stages in Metal/Titanium Eyewear
Eyewear Production
Below are some of the essential steps in crafting premium metal/titanium eyewear. These selected processes highlight the craftsmanship, precision, and technology involved in transforming raw acetate sheets into stylish and durable frames.
Step 1: Components Process
Metal frames mainly consist of rings, temples, bridges, arm pads, and hinges. The first step to manufacturing metal eyeglasses is making these metal components individually. There are 4 steps to get the components ready for the next processes: shaping, grinding, cutting, and bending.
Step 2: Soldering & Assembling
Connecting all the metal parts is the next job to do. Metal parts like rims, bridges, end pieces, and arm pads should be soldered together. The front and temples are connected with screws.
Step 3: Polishing
Polishing is so important for the quality of the metal eyewear. Both tumbling polish and hand polish are needed and the quality should be inspected right after them. Otherwise, the coloring processes will be affected causing irreversible results.
Step 4: Coloring
The colors of metal frames are added by plating and spray painting. Plated colors are much more firm but with very limited colors. On the other hand, spray painting provides almost all of the color options. Based on their own advantages and disadvantages, they were used for different purposes in the coloring process.
Step 5: Assembling
we assemble the non-metal parts like temple tips, nose pads, and lens. Then silk print and pack for the inspection.
