The Italian studio ZM Design Lab designed 100% sustainable 3D printed lights. This portable desk lamp, called "Puddy," is rechargeable and boasts a uniquely designed connector that allows the user to adjust the light to their desired direction.
Puddy is made from a unique blend of 40% ground wood pellets and bioplastics produced from renewable sources. An LED module, an aluminium base and five 3D printed parts make up the structure, which is designed for easy assembly and disassembly. There are no screws or surface cutouts at the joints, but a pair of double magnets.
The name "Puddy" is a combination of "Paddy" and "Buddy". "Paddy" pays homage to the conical hats worn by rice farmers in Southeast Asia – the design of the lamps resembles these hats. 'Buddy' refers to the fact that the lamp is designed to act like a companion: durable and reliable.
ZM Design Labs explains that it "designed puddy lamps to avoid any printing supports and thus limit our production waste as much as possible." Once printed, the components are ready without the need to add any chemical coloring additives and paint for assembly. ”
Puddy's campaign has been launched on Kickstarter, and the lamp can be ordered for an early price of €189 and is expected to be delivered in April 2022.
Other 3D printing innovations discovered include 3D printed household items made from food waste and 3D printed livable sculptures.
