The Bright Future of 3-D Printed Light Fixtures
The concept of 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing,
initially surfaced in the 1980s, thanks largely to the innovative work

'stereolithography', or SLA, a method that allowed for the creation of
3D models layer by layer, literally bringing ideas to life. It was a
revolutionary breakthrough that sparked the beginning of the 3D printing
era.
