The 3D printing process is also sustain-
able and generates minimum waste,
which is better for the environment.
“The sustainable 3D printer only adds
material where needed. The residuals
are fully recyclable and can be used
for the following product. The result
is super light, flexible. but resistant
at both times. A high-quality product
made out of dust.”
Neubau’s 3D printed frames include
Erwin, which features a wire finish
that brings a completely fresh and
new take on the classic double-bridge
design, and Sarah, a cat-eye frame
that boasts a subtle touch of feminin-
ity with its soft upswing.
Felix and Manu are both unisex styles.
Felix shows that round frames are
timeless, while Manu unites two
current trends in one - round and
double bridge.
The German-based eyewear company
ic! Berlin launched in 2018 its latest
collection of 3D printed frames,
which are available through various
eyecare professionals in Canada.
The frames, part of the firm’s Urban
Collection for both men and women,
were inspired by Berlin architecture
and boast new colours, including red
brick, brutal green and cactus fade.
The new releases include Midtown, a
frame with round lenses and a double
bridge, along with the subtle but strong
style Broadway.
The frames are made in plotic, a hypoal-
lergenic plastic that has a molecular
structure similar to natural silk, and are
also created by selective laser sintering.
ic! berlin released its first 3D printed
frame in 2014 and has consistently
made them a part of its collections
ever since.

Each summer, the company releases a
new line of 3D printed frames under
its Urban Collection.
Ic! Berlin says 3D printing allows it to
create bigger and bolder shapes, while
still maintaining the lightness that ic!
berlin frames have become loved for.

ter 2019 are MODO’s new 3D Carbon

“By using the latest manufacturing
technologies in a state-of-the-art Swiss
F1 facility, the 3D Carbon collection

Titanium heritage with new production
innovations,” says MODO, a global
