Materialise and Ditto Join Forces to Advance Digital Technologies in the Eyewear Industry

The introduction of advanced digital technologies in the eyewear industry is creating new opportunities, including the possibility to offer personalized frame recommendations and virtual try-on solutions. As part of an end-to-end digital platform, frames can also be 3D printed. 3D printing supports the creation of unique and personalized designs, reduces stock risks and enables a more sustainable manufacturing process.

Introducing Ditto, the virtual 3D try-on feature for eyewear

It’s a huge step for online shopping and online eyewear retailers, like SmartBuyGlasses. Most consumers prefer to try on a pair of glasses before purchasing them, yet physical stores can’t provide the variety that online companies can. DITTO has helped SmartBuyGlasses provide a virtual try-on feature for over 5000 pairs of glasses and sunglasses, giving their customers the variety they want, with the product satisfaction they need.
