Geometry and fit
Frame form, scale, construction and wearing considerations are reviewed through development and prototype stages.
Eyewear manufacturing in Sabae, Japan

Start a project- Core production
- Injection molding / Acetate CNC
- Development input
- Drawings / CAD / Reference sample
- Project output
- Prototype / Production-ready frames
- Manufacturing base
- Sabae, Fukui, Japan
One factory partner. Two production strengths.
Bring us a mature design. We connect engineering, prototyping, production and finishing inside one manufacturing conversation.
Two ways to make the frame.
01 / Molding
Injection Molding
Mold design, 3D prototypes, tooling and robotic molding move as one controlled production flow.
- Mold and 3D design
- 3D-printed prototype
- Tooling and robotic molding
- Finishing and assembly
02 / Machining
Acetate CNC
CNC machining, hinge work, polishing, assembly and inspection turn acetate into finished frames.
- Front and temple CNC
- Hinge and core-wire work
- Polishing and fitting
- Assembly and inspection
Robotic molding
Automation built for eyewear.
Robotic molding supports repeatable movement, controlled handling and a clear path from development to volume production.
- Mold and process planning developed for the frame
- Robotic handling integrated into the molding flow
- Secondary processing, assembly and inspection connected after molding
Project framework
A production path defined before production.
Each inquiry is reviewed as a manufacturing project. The goal is to clarify the product, the process and the approval points before committing to production.
- 01
Design review
We review drawings, CAD data or a reference sample together with the intended construction.
- 02
Process planning
Injection molding or acetate CNC is mapped to the frame structure, material and component requirements.
- 03
Prototype and approval
Samples support decisions on scale, geometry, fit and manufacturability before production.
- 04
Production and inspection
Manufacturing, finishing, assembly and final inspection are treated as one connected path.
From design data to finished frames.
A connected development and manufacturing flow reduces handoffs and keeps technical decisions close to production.
Manufacturing control
Quality is built into the handoffs.
Inspection is most useful when technical decisions remain visible throughout the project. We keep review points close to the processes that create the frame.
Material and components
Material, color, hinges, core wires and related parts are confirmed for the selected manufacturing route.
Finish and assembly
Post-processing, polishing, fitting, assembly, adjustment and final inspection complete the product.
Precision machined. Finished by experience.
Acetate production combines CNC accuracy with the polishing, fitting and adjustment knowledge associated with Sabae manufacturing.
