Expansion of knowledge about acetate fiber raw materials for acetate sunglasses:

Before introducing how to make acetate sunglasses, it is necessary to spread the knowledge about acetate first.

What is acetate glasses material?

The material of acetate glasses is cellulose acetate. As an alternative plastic, cellulose acetate is a kind of man-made fiber made from the polymerization of cellulose in plants.
Many people are curious about why acetate is called an alternative plastic, and what does it have to do with plastic. At the same time, many problems will emerge:

Is acetate the same as plastic? Which is better plastic or acetate?

Regarding this, I can tell you clearly. Acetate is indeed plastic, but it is still different from ordinary plastic.
There is no doubt that acetate is better than plastic. Because cellulose acetate is a nylon-based plastic (or can be called cellulose). Compared with ordinary plastics, it is not only more wear-resistant, but also stronger, softer, and more elastic.
So this means that sunglasses made of acetate will be more durable and comfortable than plastic sunglasses.

Man-made cellulose synthesized by chemical reaction as a polymer extracted from plants.

Presumably many people will care about whether he is environmentally friendly? Does cellulose acetate biodegrade?

I can tell you responsibly, acetate is very environmentally friendly. Because acetate can be decomposed by organisms in sea water, soil, and air.

How long does it take for cellulose acetate to decompose?

According to the available data, the degradation time of acetate is about 10 years.

How to make your customized logo acetate sunglasses?

The production of make acetate sunglasses can be mainly divided into the design of the CAD drawings of acetate sunglasses, the production of the frame, the production of the temples, and the quality inspection of the assembly.

Let us understand the first step — CAD drawing design

CAD drawing design

First of all, the CAD drawings of sunglasses are provided by the buyer or we can design them for you.

The following are examples of CAD drawings designed by us.

Contour carving

After drawing the outer contour of the mirror frame, immediately start the machine to engrave the outer contour of the mirror frame. At the same time, in order to reduce the burrs of the frame, we need to polish the cross-section and side of the frame first.

Why tumble polish the acetate frame?

Use the roller to polish the burrs at the corners of the frame. The right angles at the corners of the frame are turned into arcs, which increases the wearing comfort of the user.

How to make the acetate frame have a curvature?

Because people’s cheeks are curved, in order to wear the frame more comfortably, we need to bend the frame. Therefore, we need to place the flat mirror frame on two pieces of concave metal, and then use the machine to compress it. Finally, in this way, the frame of the sunglasses has a certain curvature.

Curved sheet frame

Why do we need to dry the acetate frame at a high temperature?

Put the acetate frame into the machine and dry it at a high temperature for four days. So as to remove the excess water in the acetate fiber, achieve the purpose of frame shape and material stabilization.

High temperature drying

How to install hinges on acetate frames?

Through the machine, a slot for milling hinges is opened in the upper left corner and the upper right corner of the back of the frame. Then install the hinge through the machine.

Acetate Frame quality inspection

After finishing the production of the frame, check the frame and hinge for defects.

If I want to make an acetate frame with metal bridges and rice nails, how should I deal with it?

How to drill rice nail holes in the acetate frame?

According to your needs for the shape and size of the rice nails, we must first adjust the machine. After adjusting the machine, after fixing the frame, punch holes in the upper left corner and upper right position of the front of the frame.

The way to drill rice nail holes in the acetate frame

First, use a toothpick to drip the glue into the hole, and then place the rice nails in the small hole.

How to make the legs of acetate sunglasses?

A complete pair of acetate sunglasses requires not only an acetate frame but also acetate temples. And the following are the steps we take to make the temples:

How to make a mold for acetate sunglasses temples?

According to the CAD drawings, the molds of acetate temples were made.

The way to stamp and cut acetate temples

Soak the cellulose acetate raw material in hot water to make the raw material soft.

Then place the raw materials under the punching machine, and after starting the machine, cut the acetate temples.

Tumble polished acetate temples

In order to reduce the burrs on the surface of the temples, it is necessary to use a roller to polish the temples.

High temperature drying acetate temples

Like the acetate frame, the temples also need to be machine-dried for four days to remove moisture and shape.

How to install hinges in acetate temples?

First put the hinge into the groove of the machine

spring hinge

Next, put the cut acetate temples into a heating machine, and then heat the temples to a soft state. Then put the softened temples into the hinged machine.

The process of installing the hinge to the acetate frame

Finally, start the machine and drive the hinges into the soft acetate temples.

Why finely polished fiber temples?

Because the machine heats the temple and the hinge is driven into the temple through the machine. Therefore, in order to reduce the irregular shapes and burrs produced in the process, we need to finely polish the temples.

Fine polishing of acetate temples

How to make the curvature of acetate temples?

In order to prevent the sunglasses from slipping off when we wear them and to improve our wearing comfort. Therefore, we need to use a machine to press the temples out of a proper arc.

Quality inspection of acetate temples

The same as the making of spectacle frames, we also need to conduct quality inspections on the spectacle legs that are made.

How to make complete sunglasses?

In order to make a pair of qualified acetate sunglasses, we not only need to strictly make the frames and temples. At the same time, the assembly of sunglasses should be standardized and quality inspection should be done. The following is the assembly and quality inspection process of our acetate sunglasses:

Tighten the screws and assemble the acetate sunglasses

By tightening the screws, the frame and the temples are assembled as a whole.

Acetate sunglasses overall polished

After making the complete frame of the sunglasses. In order to avoid defects on the surface and joints, our workers are required to place the sunglasses on the machine and polish them repeatedly until there are no burrs.

How to install the lens?

According to the lens you choose, snap one of them into the frame.

How to adjust the frame of acetate sunglasses?

Because of the lack of curvature of the temples of the sunglasses and the problem of high and low legs. We need a master with rich experience to manually adjust the curvature and height of the temples to an optimal range.

How to customize the logo of acetate sunglasses?

We mainly print your logo, size, and model in four ways: Laser, laser dot paint, metal label, crystal glue

acetate temples up metal label

UP metal label

The metal label is very three-dimensional, and the color is very bright. The colors of the laser are gold, silver and gun color.

acetate temples crystal glue

Crystal glue

Crystal glue belongs to a flat structure, and the color can be chosen arbitrarily.

Laser spot paint

The laser uses a laser to burn acetate fiber and then paints it to make it close to Pantone color.

Quality inspection of acetate sunglasses

In order to ensure that the quality of the sunglasses meets the standard quality, we need to check their quality. The complete inspection process for a pair of sunglasses includes:
—Color inspection of frame and temple. If the frame still has burrs, manual polishing is required. If the frame still has burrs, manual polishing is required.
—Then after cleaning and drying, continue the quality inspection of the frame, if there are no burrs, check whether there is a high or low leg phenomenon.
—Check for scratches on the surface of the lens
—Gently open the spring hinge inspection of the temples
—Aim the lens at the light to check whether there are bubbles or spots
If the inspection fails, the glasses must be reworked with a label.

Cleaning of the lens

After the lens assembly and quality inspection have reached the standard, it is necessary to remove possible stains and fingerprints on the sunglasses through the glasses cloth.

Packaging

Put the sunglasses in a plastic bag to reduce the influence of external dust and moisture on the sunglasses.

Sunglasses packaging

At the same time, we can also put a layer of cream paper on the surface of the sunglasses, which not only protects the lenses from abrasion but also improves the aesthetics of the packaging.

Sunglasses cover cream paper

Therefore, to make a pair of sunglasses that suits you, you need to go through four processes.

Drawing design

You provide us with CAD drawings or we design CAD drawings for you.

Make acetate frame

After selecting the raw material of the frame, according to the CAD drawing, cut into a block of acetate fiber raw material. Then squeeze and shape a nose bridge contour on the acetate block by high temperature. Then the outline of the frame was carved out on the acetate block and polished. After finishing these, we need to dry the frame at a high temperature and make the curvature of the frame through the machine. The last is the hinge installation and quality inspection of the frame.

Make acetate temples

We need to select the raw materials of the temples and make the molds of the temples. Then, the temples are stamped and cut out and the temples are curved by the machine. Then dry the temples to shape them. Finally, the mirror legs are made by fine polishing, hinge installation and quality inspection.

Combination of sunglasses and quality inspection

Use screws to assemble the sunglasses into a whole, and then polish the sunglasses. Then the lens is stuck in the frame. Then, adjust the height and amplitude of the temples of the sunglasses to a reasonable range by adjusting the frame. Finally, print your exclusive logo on the sunglasses, and then pass the quality inspection standards. Then your sunglasses are made.
