Method and system to create custom, user-specific eyewear

摘要

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.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method for generating instructions for manufacturing an individual-specific eyewear product, using a computer system, the method comprising:
quantifying at least a portion of an anatomic feature of an individual; generating a configurable parametric model of an individual-specific eyewear product for the individual, by shaping a surface or a contour of the configurable parametric model to match the quantified portion of the anatomic feature of the individual; receiving a request for modifying one or more geometric parameters of the configurable parametric model; generating an updated parametric model of the individual-specific eyewear product for the individual, based on the received request for modifying the one or more geometric parameters of the configurable parametric model; and generating an electronic file comprising instructions for manufacturing a physical embodiment of the individual-specific eyewear product according to the updated parametric model.
