Fitz Frames Makes Manufacturing Glasses Better With 3D Printing: The Cool Parts Show S2E2

Fitz Frames is out to “solve” kids eyewear. The problems? The ordering process for glasses is too long and complicated. Options are limited. Frames don’t always fit. Complete pairs are too expensive. And kids outgrow them too quickly.

The California-based company is establishing a better model, one where parents and kids can order better glasses in an easier way. An augmented reality iPhone app makes it possible to try on styles and colors virtually, and then order frames of exactly the right size. Fitz Frames 3D prints each pair to order at its Youngstown, Ohio, facility. More in this episode.
