Optical Frames
Metal Frames
Precision metal frames in steel, monel and alloy, custom manufactured for your brand — OEM/ODM from 300 pieces.
Metal frames bring precision, slimness and a classic look that never dates. Stainless steel, monel and alloy constructions are thin enough to disappear on the face while still delivering the structure optical lenses require. Metal is equally at home in value lines and premium collections, and from minimalist round fronts to double-bridge aviators it remains a cornerstone of optical and sunglass catalogs.
Working metal demands careful tooling and finishing, which is where a dedicated manufacturer makes the difference. SunDefeat CNC-machines and laser-welds components, then applies polished, brushed, matte or IP-plated finishes. Hinges, nose pads and temples are assembled and aligned by hand, and logos can be laser-etched or hot-stamped for a clean, permanent brand mark that survives years of daily wear and cleaning.
We support both OEM reproduction of your existing metal designs and ODM development of new ones, from technical drawing to full production. Every program includes quality inspection on welding points and finishes, with roughly four-week lead time and a 300-piece-per-style-per-color MOQ to keep custom metal lines accessible to growing brands and distributors, whether you stock optical or sunglass ranges for your market.
