How to make goggles with a laser cutter?

The main assembly process focuses on the cutting and gluing of the lenses and the sponge gluing of the frame. According to the needs of different types of products, lenses should be cut out of the corresponding shape of the lens from the coated lens substrate and pressed out the prescribed curvature to match the curvature of the frame. The outer lens is bonded to the inner lens by a double-sided adhesive that will require highly precise cutting of the lens. CO2 Laser is well known for its high precision.

PC Lens - cutting polycarbonate with laser

The ski lenses are generally made of polycarbonate which has high clarity and high flexibility and can resist external force and impact. Can polycarbonate be laser cut? Absolutely, the premium material characteristics and excellent laser cutting performance are bonded to realize clean PC lenses. Laser cutting polycarbonate without burning ensures cleanness and without a post-treatment. Due to the non-contact cutting and fine laser beam, you will get a fast production with high quality. Accurate notch cutting gives great convenience for installing and swapping the lenses. Besides ski goggles, motorcycle goggles, medical goggles, and industrial safety goggles, diving goggles can be made by the CO2 laser cutting machine.

What's polycarbonate lenses

Ski lenses consist of two layers: the outer and inner layer. The coating formula and technology applied to the outer lens are vital for ski lens performance, while the coating process determines lens quality. The inner layer typically utilizes imported finished lens substrates, which undergo processes such as anti-fog film plating, hydrophobic film, oil-repellent film, and abrasion-resistant scratch dural coating. In addition to traditional lens production, manufacturers are increasingly exploring laser-cutting techniques for lens production.

Ski goggles not only provide basic protection (wind, cold air) but also protect your eyes from UV rays. After all, snow in the sun will reflect more UV rays into your eyes, causing damage to your eyes, so make sure you wear snow goggles when skiing.
