Acetate frame manufacturing
CNC precision. Sabae finishing.
EIDAI combines controlled machining with the detailed hinge, polishing, fitting and inspection work required for finished acetate frames.
Machining defines the geometry. Finishing determines how the frame feels in the hand and on the face.
Precision machining is only the beginning.
Acetate manufacturing depends on the relationship between controlled geometry and skilled finishing. EIDAI connects CNC machining with hinge work, core wires, polishing, assembly and inspection.
Machine the form
CNC processes shape the front and temples from acetate material with controlled geometry.
Material preparation / Front machining / Temple machining
Build the structure
Hinges, core wires and related parts are processed and fitted into the frame.
Hinge work and insertion / Core-wire processing / Component fitting
Finish the frame
Polishing, assembly, adjustment and inspection complete the product.
Polishing / Assembly / Adjustment / Quality inspection
A connected acetate production sequence.
Machining establishes the frame. The following operations turn that geometry into a wearable finished product.
-
Material preparation
Confirm the acetate direction and prepare material for the approved frame construction.
-
CNC machining
Machine the front and temples to create the required geometry and component interfaces.
-
Hinge processing and insertion
Prepare and install hinges in relation to the frame structure and movement.
-
Core-wire and component work
Process and fit the structural parts required by the temple design.
-
Polishing and fitting
Develop the surface, edges, contact points and relationship between frame parts.
-
Assembly and inspection
Assemble, adjust and inspect the complete frame before project completion.
From acetate material to finished frame.
Each operation changes either the geometry, structure, surface or final fit of the product.
CNC geometry
Fronts and temples are machined from acetate material according to the approved frame design.
Hinge work
Hinge processing and insertion establish the mechanical relationship between the front and temples.
Core-wire processing
Temple structure is prepared through core-wire and related component work.
Polishing and fitting
Surface, edges, component fit and final adjustment are developed through finishing work.
Three layers define the finished acetate frame.
The frame must work as geometry, as a mechanical structure and as a finished object worn on the face.
Machined form
Front and temple geometry establish proportion, edge conditions and the base relationship between parts.
Mechanical relationship
Hinges, core wires and component fitting affect movement, alignment and assembly.
Surface and final fit
Polishing, fitting, adjustment and inspection determine the final feel and presentation.
Useful information for an acetate inquiry.
Material and color are important, but the design also needs to communicate construction, component and finishing expectations.
- Design files
- Front, temple and component information in drawing, CAD or sample form.
- Material and color
- Preferred acetate direction, color concept and finish expectations.
- Construction details
- Hinge, core-wire, component and assembly requirements that are already defined.
Discuss your acetate frame with a Sabae manufacturer.
