•  Japanese Zyl: Sama uses only Japanese zyl, the world’s finest plastic.

•  Custom Laminations: Sama originates and utilizes exclusive zyl colors and creates additional custom colors by laminating as many as five (5) different layers of zyl.

•  “Block” Production: Sama co-developed this innovative manufacturing technique that begins with large “blocks” of multi-colored zyl instead of more conventional plastic “sheets.”  These blocks of multi-colored zyl are then cut using low density lasers to create perfect sheets.  The resulting zyl sheets are used to create frames with a multi-dimensional marbled effect that introduce a new level of luxury to plastic eyewear and retain their shape far longer than plastic created through more traditional methods.

•  Wood Veneers: Sama developed a revolutionary technique allowing for the lamination of wood veneers of different grains and colors over plastic.  The resulting frame has the look and feel of wood with the adjustability of plastic temples or wire cores.
•  Hand-Painting: Sama utilizes a labor-intensive hand-painting process whereby color is sprayed over successive stencils and then permanently sealed with a clear plastic layer.

•  3D Designs: Sama utilizes advanced CAD (Computer Aided Design) systems and state-of-the-art CAM (Computer Aided Machining) milling machines to create sophisticated three dimensional frames shapes.
