3D printing in lighting offers sustainable, simplified solution

3D printing technology has been popular in many industries thanks to their advantages. When the technology is applied for lighting, it has also transformed the way we build lights, enabling producers to create remarkable and sustainable designs while reducing environmental impacts. Let's discover how this innovative 3D printing in lighting can introduce significant changes in the lighting industry. 

3D printing is a process in which three-dimensional objects are made by adding thin layers of a material one after another, using a digital design. 

Advantages 

The application of 3D printing in lighting can bring in several benefits, such as enhancing design capability that allows a greater choice to make lighting products at customers' specific demand, and creating sustainable lighting solutions. 

Provide special designs 

With 3D printing technology, amazing shapes, mesmerizing colors, unique textures, endless possibilities in unlimited and limited editions can be created very easily.  

The 3D printing technology allows greater flexibility both in terms of the physical properties and the design possibility. 3D products are thin, lightweight, and can be manufactured in various shapes and sizes.  

Customers can choose a luminaire configuration that complements their environment both visually and functionally. Only their imagination can constrain the numerous possible combinations of materials and textures.  

Creating sustainable lighting solutions 

The 3D printing for lighting delivers a sustainable choice as it eliminates waste by using recycled and mass balanced bio circular materials. Besides, it contributes to the circular economy by design and helps reduce carbon dioxide emissions significantly by printing locally. 

Since products are light, they leave  a lower carbon footprint associated with manufacturing, shipping and transportation.  

Applications 

Printed heatsinks 

A significant portion of LED lighting product costs goes to the heatsinks. Using 3D printed metal technology or composite heatsink has the potential to reduce weight and costs. Besides, it helps us optimize thermal management and produce visually appealing heatsinks.
