Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for machining an eyewear frame. One method includes receiving a coupon of material for making the eyewear frame, the frame comprising a perimeter, a front portion and a rear portion; cutting the coupon along the perimeter of the eyewear frame, the cut being from the rear portion of the frame to a predetermined depth from the front portion of the frame; and creating a plastic seam around the frame by further cutting the coupon from the front portion of the eyewear frame.
Claims8
A method for machining an eyewear frame, using a computer system, the method comprising:
- receiving a coupon for making the eyewear frame, wherein a structure of the eyewear frame includes a perimeter, a front portion, and a rear portion;
- cutting the coupon along the perimeter of the eyewear frame, wherein the cut extends from the rear portion of the eyewear frame to a predetermined depth towards the front portion of the eyewear frame;
- and
- creating a seam around the eyewear frame by further cutting the coupon from the front portion of the eyewear frame, wherein the seam extends across a length of the eyewear frame that is devoid of sharp edges, angles, or design features, and wherein the seam includes a flange formed to a thickness that provides stiffness during the cutting and enables clean removal of the eyewear frame from the coupon.
