Latticed Glasses

For this project, my group and I were trying to get an understanding of the capabilities of a SLA printer as well as the ability of additive manufacturing to create latticed designs.  These glasses were based off leaded glasses designed for radiologists.  We wanted to maintain the functionality of protecting the face from radiation while reducing weight and increasing air flow.  To do this, we broke the glasses into 5 parts: front, both temples, and both temple tips.  We then latticed the temples and recombined the glasses to get our final design.  During this process, we iterated through multiple different programs including: CREO, SolidWorks, ntop, and Inspire.  In the end, we created a pair of glasses that was just as functional and more aesthetically pleasing than the original pair.
