The [3D-printed luminaire housings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/souffl-lamp) created by LimeLite in collaboration with designers from Swinburne University of Technology‘s [School of Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/design-system) show off a variety of [unique geometric shapes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-drape-light). Some of the styles include The Jet, Disco and The Petal, each of which is made from ABS and other materials that are self-extinguishing and capable of withstanding extreme heat. The beauty of 3D printing is that there are plenty of customizations that can be made to the lighting system, with different variables offered for the housing color, LED color and even the angle of light distribution. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 72% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **3d-printed Lighting:** 3D printing technology brings the potential for customizable, stylish lighting solutions. - **Energy-efficient Lighting:** Energy-efficient lighting continues to gain momentum, with a focus on innovative, attractive designs. - **Customizable Product Design:** Customizable design elements add value and competitiveness to lighting products. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Lighting Manufacturing:** Manufacturers in the lighting industry can innovate through the use of 3D printing technology and customizable design options. - **3D Printing:** The 3D printing industry can offer services and solutions to the lighting industry, providing customization and innovation opportunities. - **Interior Design:** Designers can incorporate 3D-printed lighting options and customizable design elements to enhance interior design projects. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [3D-Printed Reversed Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/revolve-lamp.md) - [Playful 3D-Printed Lighting Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emil-robbrecht.md) - [3D Printed Solar Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zimple.md) - [Sculpted Ceramic Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mios.md) - [3D-Printed Suspended Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haibu.md) - [Minimalist 3D-Printed Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinted-lamp1.md) - [Fishnet-Made Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/philips-mycreation-droplet-lamp.md) - [Infinitely Expandable Light Fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cube-one-table-lamp.md) - [3D-Printed Floor Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/her-floor-lamp.md)
