Precision Manufacturing. Beautifully Finished.
Manufacturing
One chain of custody from CAD file to packed carton, so quality is a process rather than an inspection at the end.
The Journey
Eight Stages, Start to Finish.
Every programme follows the same sequence. The scale changes; the sequence does not.
- 01
Concept
Brief, references and commercial intent aligned.
- 02
Design
Shape, proportion and colour direction developed.
- 03
Prototyping
CNC or printed samples for hand and fit review.
- 04
Tooling
Moulds and fixtures prepared where required.
- 05
Manufacturing
Milling, forming and component production.
- 06
Finishing
Polishing, colouring, coating and marking.
- 07
Quality Inspection
Multi-stage checks against the approved sample.
- 08
Packaging & Delivery
Branded packing, documentation and dispatch.
01
Design & Engineering
Sketches, samples and technical packs are translated into CAD. Wall thickness, hinge placement, lens curvature and temple geometry are resolved before anything is cut.
- CAD modelling
- Technical drawings
- Fit and balance review
- Material selection
02
Prototyping
First physical samples are produced by CNC milling or printing so proportions can be judged in the hand, on the face and against the brief.
- CNC prototypes
- Printed study models
- Iteration rounds
- Sample sign-off
03
Tooling
Where injection or forming tools are required, moulds and fixtures are prepared, trialled and validated with first-article inspection.
- Mould development
- Forming fixtures
- Trial shots
- First-article approval
04
Frame Manufacturing
Production runs across acetate milling, metal forming and injection lines, with in-line checks at each station.
- Acetate milling
- Metal forming and welding
- Injection moulding
- Core insertion
05
Surface Finishing
Finishing determines how the frame reads. Each route is matched to the material and to the approved sample.
- Polishing
- Colouring
- Coating
- Printing
- Laser marking
- Hand finishing
06
Assembly
Hinges, cores, nose pads, temple tips and lenses are fitted and aligned, then torque and articulation are verified.
- Hinge fitting
- Lens fitting
- Alignment
- Component assembly
07
Final Inspection
Multi-stage inspection compares finished frames to the golden sample before packing and dispatch.
- Dimensional check
- Finish review
- Function test
- Packing verification
