  • Method for producing an object comprising a rigid metal core and a polymer-material external coating, and object obtained therewith
    Patent number: 11106055
    Abstract: To ease and improve the production of objects, a method is described for producing an object (60) comprising a structural core (10) and an outer coating of polymeric material (52), comprising the steps of (i) coating with polymeric material (50) a lamina (10), wherein the lamina comprises a surface exhibiting macroscopic discontinuities (32) configured so that the polymeric material grips to them in order to form a multilayered piece; (ii) removing parts from the multilayer piece to obtain a contour corresponding to the object, the contour comprising an edge (B) along which a margin of the lamina remains uncovered by the polymeric material.

  • Process of manufacturing of coated spectacle frames, and coated spectacle frames so obtained
    Patent number: 9448419
    Abstract: The process of manufacturing of a coated spectacle frames is characterized by the following three main manufacturing processes: A—Bonding of at least one outer layer of coating material (A, C) on at least an inner layer of material having a structural function (B). The result is a coated panel (D); B—Cutting of the spectacle frame (E) from that covered panel (D); C—Bending and shaping of the previously cut spectacle (F). The layers that form the particular coated panel (D) may origin from different combinations of different materials, as indicated in the description and claims.
