Sustainability in 3D-printing

TPI’s commitment to sustainability is reflected in its use of 3D-printing technology to produce durable and long-lasting eyewear. By addressing key factors that contribute to extended product lifespans, TPI’s 3D-printed eyewear offers enhanced durability that reduces waste and promotes an eco-friendlier eyewear industry.

A more resilient design process: 
Design optimization enables TPI to create intricate and balanced eyewear designs that maximize strength, weight, and material usage, resulting in long-lasting eyewear. Through the use of strong and resilient materials such as polyamide, TPI’s 3D-printed eyewear is highly resistant to wear and tear, minimizing the need for frequent replacements. In addition, TPI’s ability to produce spare parts and components makes it easier to repair or replace damaged elements, promoting a more sustainable and circular economy by extending the life of eyewear.

A better fit for individual faces and styles:
Customized fits tailored to individual needs and preferences provide comfortable and secure eyewear, which is less likely to be damaged or discarded due to poor fit or discomfort. That custom design process extends to how the frames look, with opportunities to dream up styles and collections that are fashionable in addition to sustainable.  
Full-color, 3D-printing technology enables TPI to produce eyewear with a wide range of colors and intricate designs, providing customers with a more personalized and unique product. This technology enables TPI to manufacture eyewear that truly reflects each customer’s individual style and personality.

Sustainable materials, minimal waste: 
Furthermore, TPI continues to explore material innovations and advancements in 3D-printing technologies that enable the development of even more durable and high-performance eyewear. The adaptability of 3D-printed eyewear also allows for easy modifications or updates, accommodating changes in prescription or style preferences with minimal waste.

TPI is proud to offer locally produced eyewear that is both stylish and sustainable, thanks to its advanced 3D-printing technology. By printing eyewear at local facilities, TPI is able to minimize transportation-related emissions and support local communities, while also reducing waste and promoting a circular economy.

TPI is committed to pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the eyewear industry, delivering products that meet the evolving needs of modern consumers while contributing to a more sustainable future.
