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 an image capture device for capturing image data and/or measurement data of a user. A computer is communicatively coupled with the image capture device and configured to construct an anatomic model of the user based on the 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. The manufacturing system is configured to interpret the product model and prepare instructions and control equipment for the manufacturing of the customized product.

29. A computer-implemented method for generating an individual-specific eyewear product, using a computer system, the method comprising:
-
receiving, over an electronic network, an anatomic characteristic of an individual; accessing a database to retrieve one or more eyewear design attributes associated with the anatomic characteristic of the individual; determining, based on the one or more retrieved eyewear design attributes associated with the anatomic characteristic of the individual, a parametric model of an individual-specific eyewear product for the individual; determining, or receiving over the electronic network, a geometric modification to the parametric model of the individual-specific eyewear product; and generating an updated parametric model of the product based on the geometric modification to the one or more configurable features of the parametric model of the individual-specific eyewear product. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46)

47. A system for generating an individual-specific eyewear product, the system comprising:
-
a data storage device storing instructions for creating the model of the individual-specific eyewear product; and a processor configured to execute the instructions to perform a method comprising; receiving, over an electronic network, an anatomic characteristic of an individual; accessing a database to retrieve one or more eyewear design attributes associated with the anatomic characteristic of the individual; determining, based on the one or more retrieved eyewear design attributes associated with the anatomic characteristic of the individual, a parametric model of an individual-specific eyewear product for the individual; determining, or receiving over the electronic network, a geometric modification to the parametric model of the individual-specific eyewear product; and generating an updated parametric model of the product based on the geometric modification to the one or more configurable features of the parametric model of the individual-specific eyewear product.

48. A non-transitory computer readable medium for use on a computer system containing computer-executable programming instructions for generating an individual-specific eyewear product, the method comprising:
-
receiving, over an electronic network, an anatomic characteristic of an individual; accessing a database to retrieve one or more eyewear design attributes associated with the anatomic characteristic of the individual; determining, based on the one or more retrieved eyewear design attributes associated with the anatomic characteristic of the individual, a parametric model of an individual-specific eyewear product for the individual; determining, or receiving over the electronic network, a geometric modification to the parametric model of the individual-specific eyewear product; and generating an updated parametric model of the product based on the geometric modification to the one or more configurable features of the parametric model of the individual-specific eyewear product.
