INDIA’S FIRST TAILOR-MADE 3D PRINTED LUMINAIRES LAUNCHED

Signify, the world leader in lighting, launched India’s first tailor-made 3D printed luminaires. This highly flexible and more sustainable form of manufacturing, using a 100 per cent recyclable polycarbonate material, enables the company to produce luminaires that have bespoke designs or are tailored to customer’s exact needs and recycled at the end of their life, supporting a circular economy.

Currently, Signify is the only major lighting manufacturer to be producing 3Dprinted lighting products on an industrial and commercial scale in India. In alignment with the Indian government’s agenda of ‘Make in India’ and ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’, the company has set up a 3D printing manufacturing facility at its existing lighting factory in Vadodara, in addition to a design lab at its R&D centre in Noida where interior designers, architects and lighting designers can experience the technology first-hand and see their luminaire being printed in front of their eyes.

They can also work together with Signify’s design experts to create a truly bespoke design that meets their specific requirements. Signify’s investment in 3D printing further illustrates the company’s commitment to better serving its customers while reducing their, and its own, carbon footprint and to responsible consumption and production (SDG12) with products that can be reprinted, refurbished, reused or recycled.

It is a key element of Signify’s commitment to doubling its circular revenues to 32 per cent in 2025, as part of the Brighter Lives, Better World 2025 program launched in September 2020 . 3D Printing is a triple bottom line technology—it’s good for the climate, consumers and companies. Consumers can design and order their 3D printed luminaires online on the company’s website or visit their nearest Philips Smart Light Hub to place their order.
