Abstract

In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for use of advanced luminaires in multitude of applications such as residential & commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and public spaces. These lighting fixtures are designed to provide better illumination, higher energy efficiency, and greater flexibility than traditional lighting systems. Due to the design complexity of these lighting structures, traditional methods of manufacturing are not able to keep up with the demand for customization and innovation. 3D printed electronics can bridge the gap between design and manufacturing, enabling designers and engineers to create advanced lighting fixtures with integrated sensors, wireless communication, and other advanced features. The luminaire that has been manufactured through this effort has been fabricated using 3D printing processes Including electrically conductive inks to print the circuit for illumination and sensing capabilities. Surface Mount Technology (SMT) and supporting electronics has been attached to the printed traces. Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) have been mounted on multiple angles to study the effect on efficiency of the luminaire.
