A company named Soda Concept, with the use of 3D printing, wants to allow anyone to totally customize their shades. And if you want more than one pair, it won’t cost you a ton of money. You can simply pop the lenses out and put them into a new set of Soda Concept frames.
When purchasing a pair of sunglasses from Soda Concept, the process is very simple. You simply choose between one of four different frame styles; the UNO, the DUE, the TRE, or the QUATTRO. Then you select the color for your frames and a separate (or same) color for the arms. There are 22 different colors to choose from, and the arms don’t need to match the frames, since they are printed in separate pieces.
Soda sunglasses cost only 39,95€ for a complete pair, including lenses, frames, and arms. You can then purchase additional arms for 9,95€ and additional frames for 14,95€. The lenses fit into any Soda frames, thus there is no need to ever own more than one pair of sunglasses. Simply pop the lenses out, put them into the frames of your choice, and select the arm color that you desire. Tada! You have a new pair of sunglasses.
All of the sunglasses are printed using a biodegradable PLA plastic. What do you think? Is this the future of sunglasses? Discuss in the Soda Concept Sunglasses forum thread on 3DPB.com
