Rethinking Lighting with 3D Printed Luminaires

Now more than ever, buildings are expected to deliver on sustainability, flexibility, and performance—without increasing cost or complexity. Lighting plays a critical role in this, not just in how spaces look and feel, but in how efficiently they operate.

Signify’s 3D printed lighting range, including GreenSpace 3D, represents a new approach—combining high-performance lighting with circular design principles to meet modern building demands.

Make the circular switch

3D printed luminaires offer a fundamentally more sustainable way to deliver lighting. Manufactured using recycled and bio-circular materials, they significantly reduce waste and carbon impact compared to traditional production methods.
• Up to 75% recycled or bio-circular materials
• Reduced manufacturing waste through additive production
• Lower transport emissions due to localised production
• Designed for disassembly and future reuse

This approach supports wider sustainability goals while maintaining the high quality and performance expected from commercial lighting.

Designed for flexibility and speed

Traditional luminaires often require standardisation to remain cost-effective. 3D printing changes this entirely—allowing bespoke designs without the penalties of long lead times or high tooling costs.
• Custom shapes, sizes, and finishes to suit any space
• Rapid production and shorter lead times
• Easy adaptation for different applications or branding
• Ideal for retrofit and refurbishment projects

This flexibility enables lighting to become part of the design conversation, rather than a constraint.

Performance without compromise

While the manufacturing method is new, performance remains aligned with modern expectations.
• High-efficiency LED performance suitable for commercial environments
• Compatible with modern control systems, including DALI-2
• Supports energy reduction targets and compliance requirements
• Suitable for offices, retail, hospitality, and public spaces

The result is a solution that balances aesthetics, performance, and efficiency.

Supporting your sustainability strategy

Lighting is one of the simplest ways to make a measurable impact on a building’s carbon footprint. 3D printed luminaires take this further by addressing not just operational energy, but also embodied carbon.
• Reduced CO₂ impact across the product lifecycle
• Alignment with circular economy principles
• Supports ESG and sustainability reporting objectives
• Future-ready approach to specification and procurement
