Ron Arad has created a range of 3D-printed spectacles and sunglasses for eyewear brand pq.
Ron Arad explained:
“The brand wanted to advertise the fact that it’s printed but I said let’s not go on about it. But it’s printed. It’s the first pair of glasses that I know about that is one piece of material; it’s monolithic. It’s polyamide.”
The frames are built entirely from nylon powder using selective laser sintering (SLS) technology, with hinges made by scores in the material rather than from additional metal parts. ”
It has a stem that’s flexible one way and stops the other,”
said Arad. More Info over at Dezeen
