This new brand belongs to Safilo group, which was able to create their collection with the support of renowned Belgian 3D printing company, Materialise.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The design of their new collection called &#8216;Capsule&#8217; has a fresh look that combines design, lightness, and comfort together into one. The idea of the designers who developed the OXYDO collection was to reuse classic models, giving them a new approach with the use of 3D printing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIt is always our goal at Materialise to not only meet industry standards but to raise them. With Safilo and their leadership in the eyewear industry, we have found a partner that values this goal equally. The eyewear industry and Additive Manufacturing have built a symbiotic relationship, where each helps the other raise its standards and challenge expectations constantly. I\u2019m looking forward to where this partnership leads next.\u201d said Alireza Parandian, \u00a0head of wearables projects at Materialise.<\/p><div class=\"dnati-inside-article-leaderboard\" style=\"text-align: center;\" id=\"dnati-2994501464\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/app.swapcard.com\/login\/event\/additiv-defense-2026\/ticket\/VGlja2V0VHlwZV83MDM4MQ==\/page\/UmVnaXN0cmF0aW9uRm9ybV81NjE4Ng==\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"LB\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/LB.gif\" alt=\"\"  width=\"850\" height=\"150\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/c-1-53.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3397\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/c-1-53.jpg\" alt=\"OXYDO sunglasses\" width=\"620\" height=\"330\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/c-1-53.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/c-1-53-160x85.jpg 160w, https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/c-1-53-300x160.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For the OXYDO collection, the Belgian company helped in the development of the original 3D printed frames, which helped to give each of the four models an original design. The impressions were made in Belgium and were then printed on Polyamide 12, \u00a0which was followed by a post-processing process to give them the best finish.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The main reason why the development of glasses and sunglasses\u00a0has found a great ally in 3D printing is mainly due to the freedom of design that is found with 3D printing. By enabling the development of different structures that cannot be produced using traditional techniques, the designer is able to push the envelope on what they bring to life.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 25%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-3392 gallery-columns-4 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/c-2-51.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/c-2-51.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"OXYDO sunglasses\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/c-2-51.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/c-2-51-109x109.jpg 109w, https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/c-2-51-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/c-2-51-65x65.jpg 65w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/c-3-31.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/c-3-31.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"OXYDO sunglasses\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/c-3-31.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/c-3-31-109x109.jpg 109w, https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/c-3-31-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/c-3-31-65x65.jpg 65w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/c-4-10.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/c-4-10.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"OXYDO sunglasses\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/c-4-10.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/c-4-10-109x109.jpg 109w, https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/c-4-10-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/c-4-10-65x65.jpg 65w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/c-5-7.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/c-5-7.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"OXYDO sunglasses\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/c-5-7.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/c-5-7-109x109.jpg 109w, https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/c-5-7-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/c-5-7-65x65.jpg 65w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe focused on leveraging the capabilities of 3D Printing to produce very fine ornamentation while keeping a very minimal silhouette.
