[VIDEO] -Safilo Makes Eyewear Prototypes

Safilo - youtube.com

Safilo, a well known eye wear maker recently mentioned that they have started to heavily utilize 3D Printing for making prototypes. I used to spend $150+ on my prescription glasses only to find out that I was being scammed by Lenscrafters. Then I found online companies like Zenni Optical wear I could buy the same quality prescription eyewear for dirt cheap ($5-$10). Soon, I hope to just print it at home...
