3D printing technology is creating an unprecedented revolution in today's lighting design, with 3D printed lamps shining like a bright new star. Looking back at the LEDucation exhibition held last week, this innovative trend was vividly witnessed, with many 3D printed lamps appearing one after another, and their innovative designs made traditional chandeliers look pale in comparison.
In the past, traditional lamps were limited by manufacturing processes and their shapes were relatively conventional, but 3D printed lamps have broken through this shackles. They are no longer simply presenting the appearance of horizontal layers of plastic, but rely on the flexibility of 3D printing technology to shape a variety of shapes. Some lamps even cleverly eliminate the expected horizontal plastic lines used to show the construction of 3D printed layers, making the lamps more refined and smooth as a whole.
LightArt's Totum series of 3D printed pendants attracted a lot of attention at the exhibition. This pendant is carefully constructed in a vertical fold or ribbed manner. The unique structure makes the light produce a wonderful effect between reflection and refraction. The ribs and folds show deep dark stripes, like a carefully drawn light and shadow scroll, creating a fascinating brightness change. From the detailed picture, we can clearly appreciate the exquisiteness of its design. It is worth looking forward to that LightArt said that the Totum series pendant will be officially released in October. Its size is also very shocking. Although it has not been accurately measured, the height is estimated to be between 4 and 5 feet. The huge and unique shape will definitely become the visual focus in the space.

The Printz 3D printed chandelier displayed by OCL Architectural Lighting is also eye-catching. According to its official website, this lamp will be available in the summer of 2025. Its biggest highlight is the application of 3D printing technology on wavy corrugations, breaking the conventional 3D printing on horizontal planes. This innovative method gives the chandelier a unique appearance, and the wavy surface makes the light scattering more evenly and layered. Unfortunately, I was unable to ask the staff at the exhibition site about how to achieve this, but I am looking forward to solving this mystery at the upcoming LightFair.

The pair of 3D printed pendants brought by Tivoli are no less impressive, and have become the darling of the exhibition with their unique design. Its complex and delicate shape seems to be a masterpiece of nature's magic; the vertical rib effect not only increases the three-dimensional sense of the lamp, but also plays a good role in regulating the light; the charming rainbow color adds a mysterious and romantic atmosphere to the lamp, presenting a dreamy color change at different angles and light.
3D printed
3D printed lamps are constantly expanding the boundaries of lighting design with their unique design and innovative craftsmanship, bringing more surprises and possibilities to our living space. I believe that in the future, with the continuous advancement of technology, 3D printed lamps will occupy a more important position in the lighting market and continue to illuminate our lives.
