Process and system for customizing eyeglass frames
First Claim
1. A process for creating a production specification for a customized eyeglass frame for a patient, the process comprising the steps of:
- accessing a frame library of parameterized standardized models for characterizing a plurality of eyeglass frame styles, the models configured to accept a plurality of customization inputs, the customization inputs comprising patient biometric data;
constructing, for a patient, a customized model of an eyeglass frame by populating the parameterized standardized model corresponding to the eyeglass frame style selected by the patient with the customization inputs for the patient; and
generating an output from the customized model corresponding to the production specification for the customized eyeglass frame and transmitting the output to a generative fabrication process for fabricating the customized eyeglass frame.

Abstract
A process for creating a production specification for a customized eyeglass frame for a patient includes the following steps. A library is accessed having fully parameterized standardized models for characterizing a plurality of eyeglass frame styles. The models are configured to accept a plurality of customization inputs including patient biometric data. A customized model of an eyeglass frame is then constructed by populating the fully parameterized standardized model corresponding to the eyeglass frame style selected by the patient with the customization inputs for the patient. An output is generated from the customized model, the output corresponding to the production specification for the customized eyeglass frame.

12. A process for making a customized eyeglass frame, the method comprising:
-
measure a patient'"'"'s biometric data, the biometric data comprising bridge width, lens width, lens height, and temple length, and saving the biometric data in a patient library; retrieving from a frame library, a parameterized standardized model for characterizing an eyeglass frame selected by the patient; combining the patient biometric measurements with the parameterized standardized model for the eyeglass frame selected by the patient to construct a customized model of the eyeglass frame; and generating a production specification from the customized model of the eyeglass frame and outputting the production specification to a 3-D printer. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)
