Briot Couture

Unique 3D visualization and intelligent edging

Briot Couture: a highly intuitive lens finishing system suitable for any optical store. Briot Couture includes the world’ first virtual 3D lens rendering technology to simplify the finishing process for all opticians.

Full 3D tracing for any curved frame

Briot Couture offers the only tracer on the market able to create a 3D model of the entire frame, including thickness, shape and groove placement. So you can offer the most creative designs to your customers with total precision.

Choose the base curve before ordering

Traditionally, choosing the base curve before ordering can be complicated, because you don’t know how the lens will fit with the frame. But with Briot Couture 3D visualization, it’s now a whole lot easier. You and your customers can preview the predicted results together and decide appropriately – a unique possibility with first-fit precision.

Delicate fits without retouching

Leveraging its TrueFit® technology, Briot Couture takes into account the curvature of the lens and frame while optimizing the bevel placement, ensuring the best balance of proper fit and quality aesthetic. The lenses move naturally into place without forcing or lengthy retouching. You can also work on delicate wood frames without risk of breakage.

Full control of edging, even with difficult curves

With 3D pre-visualization, you’ll see how the lens fits into the frame beforehand and benefit from a complete view of the final result. If needed, you can make precise changes without trial and error to obtain a perfect fit, especially in the curved parts of the frame. In the grinding section, Briot Couture offers a unique inclined bevel that enhances the finish.

Avoid slippage with hydrophobic lenses

Briot Couture intelligently adjusts its edging cycles to the thickness of the lens and material. But now with significant innovation: new sensors and improved software maintain constant pressure on the lens, thus reducing grinding time with no risk of misalignment, especially on hydrophobic lenses.
