Method and system to create custom, user-specific eyewear
First Claim
1. A system for generating a model of a user-specific eyewear product, the system comprising:
- an eyewear manufacturing device that manufactures the user-specific eyewear product according to one or more instructions; and
a computer comprising a data storage device storing instructions for creating the model of the user-specific eyewear product, and a processor configured to execute the one or more instructions to cause the computer to be configured to perform a method comprising;
receiving image data and/or measurement data of a user'"'"'s anatomy;
quantifying at least a surface or a contour of the anatomic feature of the user using the received image data and/or measurement data of the user'"'"'s anatomy;
obtaining a generalized three-dimensional anatomic model;
modifying the generalized three-dimensional anatomic model based on the quantified surface or the quantified contour of the anatomic feature of the user to obtain an anatomic model of the user;
receiving a configurable parametric model of an eyewear product, the configurable parametric model of the eyewear product comprising one or more geometric parameters that define the three-dimensional geometry of at least a frame of the eyewear product;
shaping a surface or a contour of the configurable parametric model of the eyewear product to match the quantified surface or the quantified contour of the anatomic feature of the user by modifying the one or more geometric parameters of the configurable parametric model of the eyewear product;
determining or receiving one or more parametric constraints on the shaped surface or contour of the configurable parametric model of the eyewear product and maintaining the one or more parametric constraints during the modifying of the one or more geometric parameters of the configurable parametric model of the eyewear product;
creating an updated parametric model of the eyewear product including the modified one or more geometric parameters of the configurable parametric model of the eyewear product; and
generating the one or more instructions for manufacturing the user-specific version of the eyewear product based on the updated parametric model.

Abstract
Systems and methods for creating fully custom products from scratch without exclusive use of off-the-shelf or pre-specified components. A system for creating custom products includes a computer communicatively coupled with an image capture device and configured to construct an anatomic model of the user based on captured image data and/or measurement data. The computer provides a configurable product model and enables preview and automatic or user guided customization of the product model. A display is communicatively coupled with the computer and displays the custom product model superimposed on the anatomic model or image data of the user. The computer is further configured to provide the customized product model to a manufacturer for manufacturing eyewear for the user in accordance with the customized product model.
