Advances in 3D printing allow architects, interior designers and lighting designers to specify custom luminaires for every project at a price that is affordable. And there are other advantages – speed of production and improvements in sustainability. Manufacture has already started and there are some exciting examples of collaboration between design teams and lighting engineers.
We may have all grown to consider 3D printing a process that is mostly used for prototyping, but Signify has taken the technology further by printing customisable luminaires. This is a big step forward in 3D printing, making it affordable for medium-size runs.
