MIDO 2026 marks a major milestone for additive manufacturing as Materialise reports hundreds of thousands of 3D printed frames produced to date. New Light-Form technology from IOT is transforming lens production, reducing material waste by up to 70 percent compared to traditional methods. While conventional acetate frames often waste 80 percent of raw materials, AM allows for zero-inventory and precise on-demand manufacturing. This systemic shift toward digital workflows is setting a new standard for sustainability and mass customization in global eyewear markets. 👓 #3DPrinting #AdditiveManufacturing #Sustainability #Eyewear #MIDO2026
