3D model description

Gone are the days of uninspired lighting solutions. Our lamp shade design goes beyond being mere objects of illumination. It effortlessly captivates the senses, elevating the ambiance of any space it graces.

Embracing sleek lines and contemporary aesthetics, our design embodies the perfect fusion of form and function. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, it transcends the conventional boundaries of lighting design, setting new standards for innovation and visual appeal.

Discover a lamp shade that not only illuminates your living spaces but also adds an artistic touch to your home. Step into a world where functionality meets impeccable style, leaving a lasting impression on all who experience its radiance.

The concept behind these lamp shades emerged from the fusion of a simple hexagonal grid and the fundamental shape of a traditional lamp shade. By combining these elements into a single product, we have unlocked a world of possibilities, offering a myriad of variations through different approaches and modeling techniques.

The Open Lamp Shade design showcases a captivating interplay of light and shadow. Its intricate hexagonal grid structure allows rays of light to pass through, creating a mesmerizing pattern that adorns your surroundings. The result is a delicate and ethereal ambiance that enchants any room with its subtle glow.

On the other hand, the Solid Lamp Shade design embraces a more classic aesthetic. Its robust hexagonal form provides a sense of durability and timeless elegance. The solid structure creates a focused and direct illumination, casting a warm and inviting glow that envelops your space with a comforting atmosphere.

Both variations of the 3D printed lamp shades exhibit exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. Utilizing advanced modeling techniques, we have meticulously sculpted each design to ensure a seamless fit for the E27 socket, guaranteeing easy installation and compatibility with a wide range of lighting fixtures.

Experience the harmonious blend of innovative 3D printing technology, minimalist design, and functional artistry. Choose between the captivating openness of the Open Lamp Shade or the timeless solidity of the Solid Lamp Shade, and illuminate your living spaces with a touch of modern sophistication.

During the design process of these lamp shades, we have carefully considered the technology and printing methods involved, with a focus on efficiency and sustainability. Our goal is to minimize waste and optimize the printing process for a seamless production experience.

To achieve this, we have taken into account the limitations of 3D printing and strived to create designs that require minimal or no support material during fabrication. By utilizing clever design techniques and incorporating structural integrity into the geometry, we ensure that the printing process remains efficient and material usage is reduced.

With a targeted material consumption range of 60-100g, our lamp shades are designed to strike the perfect balance between structural stability and material efficiency. This ensures that the final product maintains its strength and durability while minimizing the environmental impact.

In terms of printing time, our designs have been optimized to be completed within a timeframe of 8 to 10 hours. This allows for efficient production without compromising on the quality and intricacy of the final result.

By integrating considerations of technology, material usage, and production time, we have created lamp shade designs that not only showcase aesthetic appeal but also prioritize sustainability and practicality. Enjoy the beauty of these shades, knowing that they are the product of thoughtful design and a commitment to responsible manufacturing practices.
