Abstract

A laser frame tracer () including a laser measuring unit () with a laser () and one or more cameras () for optically measuring dimensions of eyeglass frames (). A frame carrier () is provided for moving the eyeglass frames () through a laser line emitted by the laser (). The frame carrier () includes a linear carriage () and a rotary carriage (). Movement of the linear carriage () and the rotary carriage () are controlled by an on-board computer () which collects image data from the one or more cameras (). Image data is processed to determine a 3D model from which selected dimensions for the eyeglass frames () may be measured. The dimensions may be stored in a cloud database for access by others in cutting lenses to fit the eyeglass frames ().
