What does it take to print eyelashes at production scale?
R&D on 3D-printed eyelashes at OPT Industries, now available at TAD Beauty.
Work in progress. This page is still being written; more detail is on the way.
OPT Industries is an advanced manufacturing company specializing in ultra-high-resolution 3D printing and material design, delivering innovative solutions for industries like cosmetics and healthcare.
What I've achieved
1. Geometry optimization: yield up 10–40% in absolute terms, depending on the lash style
2. New layout: 80–100% more throughput for certain sizes
3. New support: higher yield, and it removed the air-blade step, a slow and labor-intensive part of post-processing
4. Design tools development, small features for optimization, visualization, and documentation
Below shows a simplified overview of works I've done.
