Cascadia Eye

September 2017 - December 2017

Summary

Cascadia Eye is a prescribed lens retailer who wanted to start designing their own frames. To get started, they wanted to 3D model and print the frames. They contacted me to help reverse engineer competitor designs and make the design changes they wanted.

Responsibilities

The main focus of this project was introduction to reverse engineering at a professional level. We took competitor designs, saw what we liked and changed what we didn’t. Using 3d scanning and photogrammetry we were able to create surfaces which I used then to create functional models.

Design 1

For the first design, Cascadia Eye supplied images with measurements (similar to the left) and had an outside source 3D scan the frames.

The 3D scan was used as a reference and to help match the organic geometry of the design.

Design 2

Results

Cascadia Eye was happy with both designs I produced, they are continuing to work on design changes before moving forward with mass production. The picture on the left compares the 3D scan file to what I produced.
