They were close to bankruptcy and had one last chance to save the company. They were due to attend a trade fair in Paris, and the only glasses they could get produced in time were 3D-printed. They managed to have an entire collection ready for the fair, and some markets responded positively to the 3D-printed glasses. This marked the beginning of a complete shift of their production to <\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/am-hub.dk\/komigang\/\" class=\"cursor-init\">3D printing<\/a><span>. In this way, Monoqool began producing with 3D printing out of necessity, but at the same time it was what brought them back to the surface and established a healthy business. Today, all Monoqool glasses are 3D-printed and sold in more than 1,000 opticians worldwide, with the USA, China and Germany as the largest markets.<\/span> <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_row_2 et_pb_row et_flex_row fade-in-up case-row\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_3 et_pb_column et_flex_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et_flex_column_12_24 et_flex_column_12_24_tablet et_flex_column_24_24_phone\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_5 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h3>The road to success with 3D printing<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_6 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>Today, 3D printing is primarily used to produce prototypes and, to a lesser extent, end products. Monoqool has experimented extensively to continuously build their knowledge and capabilities. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a lot of knowledge about 3D printing for prototypes, but not as much for production. And when you have to make something that people will wear on their face for 16 hours a day for perhaps 4\u20135 years, the requirements are completely different from those for prototypes,\u201d says Allan Petersen, owner of Monoqool. Monoqool has succeeded in producing glasses that meet those requirements. Among other things, they have had supportive partners who helped build up knowledge. Today it is much easier, because a great deal of knowledge has already been built up over those five years.    <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_4 et_pb_column et-last-child et_flex_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et_flex_column_12_24 et_flex_column_12_24_tablet et_flex_column_24_24_phone\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_image_0 et_pb_image et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/am-hub.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Monoqool-briller.png\" title=\"Monoqool glasses\" width=\"1158\" height=\"688\" srcset=\"https:\/\/am-hub.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Monoqool-briller.png 1158w, https:\/\/am-hub.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Monoqool-briller-980x582.png 980w, https:\/\/am-hub.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Monoqool-briller-480x285.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1158px, 100vw\" class=\"wp-image-4313\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_row_3 et_pb_row et_flex_row fade-in-up case-row\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_5 et_pb_column et_flex_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et_flex_column_12_24 et_flex_column_12_24_tablet et_flex_column_24_24_phone\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_image_1 et_pb_image et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/am-hub.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Monoqool.png\" title=\"Monoqool\" width=\"699\" height=\"513\" srcset=\"https:\/\/am-hub.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Monoqool.png 699w, https:\/\/am-hub.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Monoqool-480x352.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 699px, 100vw\" class=\"wp-image-1548\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_6 et_pb_column et-last-child et_flex_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et_flex_column_12_24 et_flex_column_12_24_tablet et_flex_column_24_24_phone\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_7 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h3>Full production with 3D printing<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_8 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>Allan Petersen says there are many advantages to producing with 3D printing. One of the advantages is design freedom. If you can draw it, you can print it. For example, Monoqool has made their glasses completely without screws. This is only possible with 3D printing.    <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe degrees of freedom we get are invaluable. That is innovation,\u201d says Allan Petersen. <\/p>\n<p>Another advantage is that there are no limits to how small quantities you can produce. You can make what you need: 1, 2 or 30 pieces-whereas with traditional eyewear production you would typically have to order 300 of a shape. But it is not only the quantity that differs. Time is also a decisive factor-not only for prototypes, but also for finished production. Conventional development and production typically take up to 12 months from development to a finished collection. With 3D printing, Monoqool has been able to do it in a month-and even with 60 different eyewear variants. This means they can read trends in the market and respond extremely quickly.         <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_row_4 et_pb_row et_flex_row fade-in-up case-row\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_7 et_pb_column et_flex_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et_flex_column_12_24 et_flex_column_12_24_tablet et_flex_column_24_24_phone\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_9 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>\u201cWe had an autumn collection that we started producing on 9 November, and by 17 December the entire collection was ready in 60 variants. Traditionally, it would have taken 6\u201312 months.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we do 3D-print production, we might make 100\u2013200 pairs of glasses at a time, but in that batch we can have 10 of one variant and 10 of another. It provides fantastic flexibility. It turns the entire logistics setup on its head and delivers enormous benefits.\u201d  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn short, it changes your entire mindset,\u201d says Allan Petersen.<\/p>\n<p>That changed mindset must also be applied when looking at the finances, where you have to do the calculations differently than you usually do. \u201cThe cost of 3D printing is surprisingly high,\u201d says Allan Petersen, elaborating: <\/p>\n<p>\u201cPreviously, we produced in Japan, but there we had to produce a large quantity. That meant we ended up with an inventory of very expensive glasses that could not be used. With AM\/3D printing, the initial cost is higher, but you can make exactly the quantity you need. This means you do not end up with inventory that may have to be thrown away. That is financially sound, and at the same time it is far more sustainable.\u201d    <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_8 et_pb_column et-last-child et_flex_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et_flex_column_12_24 et_flex_column_12_24_tablet et_flex_column_24_24_phone\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_image_2 et_pb_image et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/am-hub.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/monoqool-innovaiton.jpg\" title=\"monoqool-innovation\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/am-hub.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/monoqool-innovaiton.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/am-hub.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/monoqool-innovaiton-1280x853.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/am-hub.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/monoqool-innovaiton-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/am-hub.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/monoqool-innovaiton-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1500px, 100vw\" class=\"wp-image-4312\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_row_5 et_pb_row et_flex_row fade-in-up case-row\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_9 et_pb_column et_flex_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et_flex_column_12_24 et_flex_column_12_24_tablet et_flex_column_24_24_phone fakta-box\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_10 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_dark et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h3>Results from using 3D printing technology<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_11 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_dark et_pb_module et_flex_module checklist\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><ul>\n<li>Reduced product development time from 1\u20132 months to 1\u20132 days<\/li>\n<li>Great design freedom; for example, Monoqool has made their glasses completely without screws.

With 3D printing, you are able to experiment. New ideas can be tested quickly because the development time is far shorter than with traditional production.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith traditional prototypes, you wait a month or two before you have your prototypes, and if there are changes, you wait another month, so the momentum kind of disappears from your development project. But with 3D printing, your prototypes are ready in one to two days. It is incredibly fast. For development, there is nothing better than 3D printing,\u201d says Allan Petersen.   <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_row_6 et_pb_row et_flex_row fade-in-up case-row\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_11 et_pb_column et_flex_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et_flex_column_3_5 et_flex_column_3_5_tablet et_flex_column_24_24_phone\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_14 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>The sustainability aspect has several layers. You only use the material that is in the glasses. You can do just-in-time production. You only make what you need and have no material waste. This provides many environmental benefits. Production with AM\/3D printing has also meant that Monoqool now produces their glasses on Danish soil instead of in Japan. If this trend spreads, we will be able to move jobs from, for example, Asia back to Denmark or Europe.       <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe that 3D printing will bring production back to Europe. Close to where we are. It offers certain advantages in development and production that, for example, you can drive there and have specific issues corrected, so in general it is really just a matter of getting started and testing the technology,\u201d says Allan Petersen.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>About Monoqool:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Monoqool was established in 2008<br \/>In 2013, Monoqool was among the first in the world to
