Thus, in accordance with the embodiment form preferred method, a 300 layer multilayer is made 10 tablets, visible in figure 14, from which comes frame component 100 made. In accordance with this embodiment, motifs or designs different results are imparted on different layers of the 300 multilayer, as each layer integrates 15 specific shapes obtained from a respective tablet. In the 300 plywood, the second shapes 20 and the fourth 40 silhouettes can be partially or completely overlapping, or arranged so as not to overlap. 20 Advantageously, you can create a pattern with three-dimensional effect on the frame component 100 finished. In fact, the mounting component 100 integrates some parts of the 300 plywood which include some portions of the second shapes 20 and of the fourth shapes 25 40. Preferably the stage of carving the first tablet 1 plans to carve the 300 size plywood that it was welded. Preferably, it is possible to foresee additional 30 tablets, which are preferably at least partly transparent, to be welded to the first tablet 1 and / or to the third tablet 3, if applicable. GMO / A138845 This step is optional. The additional tablets 5, 6, 7 they can be at least partly transparent or colored or partly colored. Preferably, prior to the carving stage 5 the first tablet 1, the method includes a further phase of placing the first tablet 1 on a fifth tablet 5. Subsequently, the method includes a welding stage the fifth tablet 5 to the first tablet 1. 10 Welding the fifth tablet 5 to the first tablet 1 can be done at the same time as other welds with a single welding step. In this case, the 300 plywood format can include the first tablet 1 and the fifth tablet 5. 15 As reported above, the phase of carving the first tablet 1 involves carving the 300 plywood, thus also carving the fifth tablet 5 which is the first tablet 1 has been paired. In accordance with the embodiment that provides for the first 20 tablet 1 and the third tablet 3, instead, the multilayer 300 is made up of three boards, where the fifth tablet 5 is placed between the first tablet 1 and the third tablet 3. Therefore, the carving stage the first tablet 1 also provides for carving the third 25 tablet 3 and the fifth tablet 5, which were paired with the first tablet 1. Always in accordance with this embodiment, the method It also includes a phase of welding the fifth tablet 5 to the third tablet 3. 30 Preferably, prior to the carving stage the first tablet 1, the method includes a further phase of placing a sixth tablet 6 on the first GMO / A138845 tablet 1. The sixth tablet 6 can be foreseen in replacement, or preferably in addition, to the fifth tablet 5 and paired only with the first tablet 1 or also to the third tablet 3 if present. 5 The method also includes a subsequent phase of weld the sixth tablet 6 to the first tablet 1. Welding can take place simultaneously with other welding phases mentioned above or in a separate phase. Preferably, prior to the carving stage 10 the first tablet 1, the method includes a further phase of placing the third tablet 3 on a seventh tablet 7. The seventh tablet 7 can be foreseen in place of, or more preferably in addition to, fifth tablet 5 and / or sixth tablet 6. 15 The method also includes a subsequent phase of weld the seventh tablet 7 to the third tablet 3. Welding can take place simultaneously with other welding phases mentioned above or in a separate phase. Preferably, in accordance with the present invention, 20 the welding phase is preferably carried out via high frequency welding or, alternatively, with acetone. Advantageously, once tablets different and / or that the shapes obtained from a tablet and the seats obtained from another tablet are welded together 25 of them, are intimately linked forming a piece unique. Preferably, the carving stages are carried out by milling. Preferably, the pattern or color of the fourth 30 tablet 4 are different from those of the second tablet 2. According to preferred embodiments, the first tablet GMO / A138845 1 and the third tablet 3 are transparent. Preferably, the stage of carving the first tablet 1 to make a mounting component 100 plans to make a front of glasses. 5 Alternatively, the stage of carving the first tablet 1 to make a mounting component 100 plans to hold an auction. In accordance with a realisation example of a front, three first shapes 10 are created, each having a 10 predefined form, preferably having shapes between them different, on a first transparent tablet and three second shapes 20 on a second tablet 2 having a default fantasy. The second 20 shapes are identical to the first 10 silhouettes. 15 Subsequently the first three shapes 10 are discarded and insert the three second shapes 20 into the three seats 11 of the first tablet 1. Subsequently, three third shapes 30 are made having each a predefined form, preferably having 20 different shapes, on a third tablet 3 transparent and three-quarters silhouettes 40 on a quarter tablet 4 having a single default color. The fourth Silhouettes 40 are identical to the third silhouettes 30. Subsequently, the three third shapes 30 are discarded and 25 insert the three fourth shapes 40 into the three seats 31 of the third tablet 3. Then, the first tablet 1 is superimposed on the third tablet 3 forming the plywood 300, which is welded to bind the tablets and shapes together 30 to their respective offices. In particular, in a form preferred, a fifth tablet is inserted 5 transparent and / or colored between the first tablet 1 and the GMO / A138845 third tablet 3, placing a sixth tablet 6 transparent covering the first tablet 1 and also a seventh transparent tablet 7 at the base of the third tablet 7. The 300 plywood formed according to this 5 example is similar to what is shown in figure 14. Then the components of the multilayer are welded together 300 through high-frequency welding. The welding of the second shapes 20 to the first seats 11 and of the fourth silhouettes 40 to third seats 31 can also happen 10 prior to the overlapping of the various tablets 1, 3, 5, 6 and 7. After tablets 1, 3, 5, 6 and 7 were welded together and you get a 300 multilayer welded as visible in figure 15. In the 300 plywood the second shapes 20 and the fourth 15 silhouettes 40 can be alternated or at least partially superimposed. In addition, two second 20 silhouettes and two fourth ones 40 shapes are arranged in such a position as to result, once the 300 plywood has been carved into the shape of a front, in correspondence with the circles. The remaining 20 second shape 20 and fourth shape 40 are arranged in position such that, once the carving is done, it will be plywood 300 in the form of a front, in bridge correspondence. Finally, the 300 plywood is carved according to 25 the shape of the desired front, obtaining the circles and the front in correspondence with the second shapes 20 and of the fourth silhouettes 40. The present invention also includes a frame component 100 obtained with the method as 30 described above. The resulting mounting component 100 with this method presents an alternation and / or a overlapping of colors and patterns. GMO / A138845 Preferably, the mounting component 100 is a front of glasses. The frame component 100 can also be a dipstick. The present invention also includes a pair of glasses. 5 200 comprising a mounting component 100 described. In particular, in the present context, with the The term glasses refers to a pair of glasses any type with two lenses, such as glasses sun, prescription, aesthetic, protective, sports, or 10 a mask of any type with a single lens unique, for example a sports or protective mask or something else. The method thus conceived is susceptible to numerous modifications and variations, all falling within the scope of the 15 inventive concept; furthermore all the details are replaceable by technically equivalent elements. In practice the materials used, as long as they are compatible with the specific use, as well as the sizes and shapes contingent, they can be any depending on the 20 technical requirements.
