5 Steps to design your own eyeglasses or sunglasses

  1. Find the material of what styles you like

Alternatively, you can also visit an optician or an eyewear store to try on different frames and see what shapes and styles suit you best. The optician or salesperson can also provide advice on which frames would be most suitable for your face shape, skin tone, and personal style. Additionally, you can also ask friends or family members for their opinion on which frames look best on you.

Like this one as an example.

2. Drawing the draft of eyeglasses or sunglasses frames and temples by hand,

This step is simple. No matter you have experience on drawing by hand, you just drawing out the outline of the frames and temple, you do not consider what size is fit for you or your sales market, just drawing out it,

Look at the pictures shown.

3. Doing the technical drawing by AutoCAD

this step requires both technical and practical knowledge. It is important to understand the production process of eyeglasses and sunglasses to ensure that the design is suitable for production. CAD software is often used in the eyewear industry to create accurate and precise drawings for production.

It is important to consider factors such as the materials used, the size and shape of the lenses, and the fit of the frames to ensure that the design can be produced with high quality and efficiency. It may be helpful to consult with experts in the field, such as eyewear manufacturers, to gain a better understanding of the production process and how to optimize the design for production.

4. Create it by the Corel-Draw with the colors

To find the right acetate or materials colors, you can refer to the color swatches provided by the manufacturers or suppliers. You can also request for samples to see the actual colors and textures of the materials.

Once you have chosen the colors, you can use the existing technical drawing as a reference to draw the eyewear frames in color. This step requires a good understanding and skills in using software programs such as CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software.

CAD software allows you to create a 3D model of the eyewear frames, which you can then modify and adjust to your liking. You can change the dimensions, shape, and color of the frames until you are satisfied with the design.

In addition, CAD software also allows you to create a technical drawing of the frames, which includes detailed measurements and specifications that are necessary for the production of the frames.

Overall, the key to success in this step is to have a good understanding of the software and to be able to translate your design ideas into a digital format.

5. Drawing it by 3D software Rhino,

Creating a 3D drawing can help to visualize the model more accurately and can also be useful for checking the dimensions and proportions of the frame. It can also be helpful for presenting the design to clients or manufacturers.

There are various software programs that can be used to create 3D models of eyewear frames such as SolidWorks, Rhino, or SketchUp. It’s important to have a good understanding of the software and be skilled in creating 3D models to ensure the design is accurately represented.
