    Tech Print Industries Previews Standalone SaaS Platform TPI Studio at SILMO Paris

    Tech Print Industries (TPI) previewed TPI Studio, its browser-based eyewear design platform, at SILMO Paris 2026. Originally built for internal production, TPI Studio is launching as a standalone SaaS product for designers, brands, optical retailers, and factories, with a beta program opening this fall. The platform features over 100 parametric sliders, an AI Texture Generator for plain-language finish creation, and Live Edit Virtual Try-On. It offers two editions: Quick Design for guided template work and Pro Design for full parametric control. Frames designed in the software are produced on TPI’s lines using HP Multi Jet Fusion in PA12 nylon at facilities in the Netherlands and the United States. This model eliminates mold costs and minimum order quantities, maintaining a three-week lead time from approved design to finished frame.

    Editorial relevance: The release of TPI Studio as a standalone SaaS platform integrates AI-driven design and virtual try-on with direct-to-production workflows, potentially reducing traditional eyewear prototyping barriers for online retailers and brands.
