3DNA
The "Ouro" Smart Factory
At the core of 3DNA’s innovation is the “Ouro” Smart Factory – a revolutionary approach to manufacturing that leverages mould-free production, AI-driven automation, and flexible robotics.
Ouro Shift
Core Technologies Behind "Ouro"
Three key innovations converge to make “Ouro” a reality, each addressing critical pain points in traditional manufacturing.
The Challenge
Traditional mould-based production poses significant limitations:
High Costs – Large upfront investment required for mould creation.
Slow Turnaround – Production takes hours or even days per mould.
High MOQs – Large minimum order quantities hinder design flexibility.
The 3DNA Innovation
Our patent-pending process revolutionizes eyewear manufacturing by:
Utilizing digital controls and
Combining advanced machining with additive techniques
to directly shape components from raw materials using digital design files—no moulds required.
Key Benefits
Zero Mould Costs – Save time and money from day one.
On-Demand Production – Supports single-piece or small-batch manufacturing.
Design Agility – Quickly iterate and launch new designs without financial risk.
The Challenge
Creating Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) instructions has traditionally relied on skilled human programmers—making the process:
Time-Consuming
Expensive
Error-Prone, especially with complex or custom designs
The 3DNA Innovation
Introducing our AI CAM Agent:
Using advanced machine learning and large data models, it:
Instantly analyzes 3D eyewear designs
Automatically generates optimized, error-free machine code
Delivers production files on demand, at the point of order
Key Benefits
Massive Time & Cost Savings
Consistent, High-Quality Output
Faster Design-to-Production Cycle
Easily Handles Custom & Variable Orders
The Challenge
Traditional mass production lines face major limitations:
Linear & Inefficient – Parts sit idle between stages
Labor-Intensive – Heavy reliance on manual, repetitive work (often offshored)
Inflexible – Difficult to reconfigure for new products or SKUs
The 3DNA Innovation
The "Ouro" Smart Factory features a ring-style/cellular layout with:
A central conveyor system
Robotic arms managing part transfer across CNC machines, finishing, and QC stations
Modular design, built for local deployment and effortless scaling
Key Benefits
24/7 Lights-Out Operation (potential)
Reduced Labor Dependency
Optimized Continuous Material Flow
Flexible Scheduling & Product Adaptability
Supports Onshoring & Distributed Manufacturing
