This style features a clean square metal front and a distinctive decorative temple detail inspired by a twisted-rope effect.
Instead of using a flat pressed pattern, the side detail can be developed as a cast metal component, creating a more dimensional and refined appearance.
The main production focus is the precision of the decorative part, the connection between the cast component and the temple structure, and the consistency of the final surface finish.
Materials
The frame can be developed in stainless steel as a standard option.
According to design, weight and pricing requirements, titanium or selected metal alloys may also be considered for suitable structural parts.
The decorative twisted section can be developed as a cast metal accessory, then assembled with the temple structure.
Engineering and Structure
The front design is relatively classic, while the key feature is the temple decoration.
The twisted visual effect is intended to be created through a cast decorative component rather than a simple flat pressing process. This helps achieve a clearer three-dimensional pattern and a more refined appearance.
Key engineering points include:
- dimensional consistency of the cast decorative part
- clean transition between the hinge area and the temple
- secure connection between decorative part and temple structure
- left and right symmetry
- smooth temple opening and closing
- stable overall alignment
If the decorative detail is customized, tooling development is required.
Quality Control
Quality inspection mainly focuses on:
- consistency of the cast twisted pattern
- symmetry of left and right temples
- secure assembly and connection strength
- welding and joint cleanliness
- plating uniformity
- coating adhesion
- smooth hinge movement
- frame alignment and overall appearance
Customization
Customization can include:
- frame material
- decorative temple pattern
- cast component shape and size
- plating color and finish
- lens color and lens function
- logo placement
- temple tip material and color
- frame dimensions
- packaging
FAQ
Does the twisted temple detail require tooling?
Yes. If the decorative side part is custom developed, tooling is required for the cast component.
Is the twisted effect made by twisting two wires together?
Not necessarily. In this design, the twisted effect can be developed as a cast decorative component to achieve a more stable and dimensional result.
Is hydraulic forming suitable for this detail?
For this type of three-dimensional twisted appearance, hydraulic forming is usually not the best option. A cast component is more suitable for achieving the sculpted visual effect.
Can the plating color be customized?
Yes. The plating finish can be adjusted according to the project requirements.
