3D Printed Solar Lamps

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Zimple Recently Created an New Outdoor 3D Printed Lamp

— May 12, 2022 — Art & Design
Zimple has created an outdoor 3D printed lamp made from recycled PETG and organic compounds. 'Zilios' is the first lamp of its kind. It features an elegant design and is built with solar technology. The company hopes this build inspires the next generation of outdoor lighting.

Zilios offers individuals the option to print the lamp themselves or buy it from its shop. The product is available in many shapes and sizes, all inspired by nature. This product is distinctive because its designs are only available through 3D prints and are impossible to find in stores.

Zilios eliminates the problematic choice individuals face when choosing between solar lamps and attractive lights by providing both.

Readers can find out more about these distinctive lamps on the Kickstarter website. Designs can also be downloaded from the Zimple website.
