It's in our DNA. Explore new ways, use new technologies and materials. We are innovative eyeglass manufacturers.
Providing the user with ultimate comfort is our priority. We manufacture ultra fine frames. Light. Without screws. Easy to adjust. Happy customers.
The simplest ideas are often the most difficult to achieve. The solution that makes you think: why didn't I think of that? Such an idea is the result of the elimination of all unnecessary elements. That's what we're trying to do. Every day.
Working in the area of Danstruplund, in the middle of a magnificent nature north of Copenhagen, we escape the disorder and chaos often associated with modern lifestyle. Here we free our minds and return to our roots. Our Danish design heritage.
Glasses made with a 3D printer
6 things to know about 3D printing at Monoqool:
- Slider mounts are produced in superfine layers, each frame comprising up to 600 layers. This makes them flexible and solid.
- Print in 24 hours. Mounts are made from polyamide powder, which is hardened by a laser beam. It takes up to 24 hours to print the glasses in 3D.
- 30 POST TREATMENT STEPS. After 3D printing, the glasses undergo more than 30 additional steps before finishing – from sanding the glass to final assembly, colouring, coating and polishing.
- RECYCLING. 3D printing is also called additive manufacturing because you only use the material that composes the frame. All excess powder is recycled, unlike acetate glasses, where 85% of the material is removed.
- 3D PRINTS ADVANCED. Many people confuse 3D to 1,000 printers € for leisure with industrial 3D printers that we use to make our frames. An industrial printer costs more than 400,000 € Hey! It's like comparing a small car with a Porsche.
- FUTURE. 3D printing was originally used for the manufacture of prototypes. Today, a company like Boeing produces thousands of 3D printed parts for its latest aircraft.
