3D Printing for Lighting - Where are We Now and What are the Possibilities
3D printing shows promise to revolutionize the way lighting is designed, manufactured, specified, sold, and installed. It can provide many opportunities to make lighting systems more flexible, responsive, and efficient to meet the needs of modern building and construction practices. The lighting industry is uniquely positioned to apply 3D printing and create a major transformation toward a business model of custom, value-added, architecturally integrated lighting that matches the specific needs of each application.
For the past 8 years, Rensselaer’s Lighting Research Center has conducted research and education in order to disseminate information and encourage the 3D printing of lighting. This presentation will provide an overview of LRC research regarding the potential for using 3D printing for the manufacture of lighting components and systems, as well as an explanation of the improvements and advancements needed to make 3D printing the first choice method for lighting manufacturing.
