Informazioni sulla Soluzione

Objectives

1. Understand the principles of optical and ophthalmic technology

Students learn the physical basics of optics, the characteristics of materials and the technologies used to manufacture and assemble spectacles, with reference to the relevant standards.

2. Use equipment specific to the optical sector

The lab includes focimeters, thickness gauges, PD meters, drilling machines, lens edgers and spectacle centring systems for precision exercises.

3. Develop design and quality control skills

Using 2D/3D CAD software and tools for geometric and optical inspection, students create virtual frames and technical drawings and check compliance with regulatory requirements.

4. Promote safety, ergonomics and technical dexterity

The learning environment is equipped with protective devices, ergonomic benches and tools for working safely on the plastic and metal materials commonly used in eyewear.

Learning Aims

1. Train skilled technicians in eyewear production

The programme allows students to acquire practical skills in the manufacture, adjustment, fitting and inspection of visual aids according to technical and functional standards.

2. Combine knowledge of technical drawing and industrial design

Students develop skills in designing eyewear models, taking ergonomic, aesthetic and technical factors into account, with the help of dedicated software.

3. Promote awareness of standards and quality

Using inspection instruments fosters attention to product quality and compliance with national and European regulations (ISO, CE).

4. Encourage teamwork and operational responsibility

Activities involve cooperation in working groups to handle the assembly, measurement and inspection stages, strengthening autonomy, precision and collaboration.
