Abstract
In the past 100 years, innovations in lighting have primarily involved new technologies for illumination. However, the manufacture of lighting fixtures over time has stayed relatively the same. Traditional manufacturing in many industries has started to be supplanted by a new innovation: 3D printing. While 3D printing is an opportunity to bring back lighting fixture manufacturing to the U.S., the few U.S. manufacturers remaining are not adopting it rapidly. To help the U.S. lighting industry, Rensselaer’s Lighting Research Center has conducted research, education, and collaborative activities to disseminate information and encourage the 3D printing of lighting. This paper provides 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 lessons learned and improvements needed to make 3D printing the first choice method for lighting manufacturing.
