Pioneering German design house MYKITA has teamed up with technology partner Volumental in a bid to set the standard for digitally tailored eyewear where “anatomical design meets avant-garde technology.” As a revolutionary approach to bespoke, wearable design, MYKITA’s “MY VERY OWN” project will integrate 3D scanning, parametric design and additive manufacturing in order to offer the perfect pair of glasses designed according to the requirements of the user and the topography of his/her face. The scanning procedure will compile an accurate 3D model, which will then go on to be tried in a digital fitting. A bespoke service so precise that it will cater to micro adjustments in frame width, breadth of the nose bridge, frame to face angle as well as temple length and radius. Scheduled to launch in spring 2016, head directly to the “MY VERY OWN” project page for a detailed breakdown of each step.
