Cédric Morazzani Creates Custom Glasses Using 3D Printing
Optician Cédric Morazzani repairs and creates custom eyewear on-site with a 3D printer, enhancing accessibility and reducing waste.
Cédric Morazzani, an independent optician based in Miramont-de-Guyenne, has been utilizing a 3D printer for 16 years to repair and create custom glasses. His innovative approach allows him to provide tailored eyewear solutions, including those for specific sports such as rugby and cycling. Morazzani is also a member of the jury for the SILMO innovation competition, highlighting his commitment to advancing optical technology.
Morazzani's journey with 3D printing began with initial trials that did not meet his quality standards. However, significant advancements in technology have enabled him to produce comfortable and personalized frames. Using a micrometer probe, he takes precise measurements to create eyewear that fits individual morphologies perfectly.
The 3D printer also facilitates the repair of any framed glasses without the need to resize the lenses. By scanning the existing frames, Morazzani can manufacture a custom replacement on-site at an affordable price. He expresses satisfaction in being able to repair glasses, thus minimizing waste and offering unique designs that enhance the wearing experience.
