Eyewear frames industry is becoming very competitive because fashion factors are involved in addition to its function as vision aid. Most of the famed eyewear frames are made with greatest care and precision. We take the example of plastic eyewear frames to explain in detail how the eyewear frames are manufactured and processed.

1. Eyewear frames manufacturers will first design the frames using own designers or outside consultants.
2. Based on the design of eyewear frames, factories make the steel die. Put the steel die in the punching machines to punch the blanks of eyewear frames fronts out of the plastic sheets with the appropriate thickness and colors. This blank becomes the fronts of eyewear frames.
3. Use a router to cut the grooves for holding the lenses.
4. Put the metal hinges onto the two ends of the eyewear frames fronts. Mostly manufacturers use supersonic to heat the hinges and then insert into the front.
5. Punch the temples out of the plastic sheets like the fronts. Put the hinges onto the ends of the two temples.
6. Adjust the angular fit of the whole eyewear frames to make the frame front tilt a little from the wearer’s top to bottom. This is a decisive step in making high quality of eyewear frames.
7. Heat the fronts of eyewear frames in oven to soften and then shape the fronts based on the curve of the people’s face.
8. Polish the fronts and temples to make the whole eyewear frames smooth. Any scratches are not acceptable.
