【Vacuum Forming Application】DIY LED Dynamic Neon Lights in 3 Simple Steps!LED neon light sets, create super magical dynamic walls! You decide the ever-changing shapes. Follow a Spanish 3D artist, combine with vacuum forming technology for product development and rapid mass production. Free download link at the end of the article! See the 3 core steps now:
Duke Doks, a motion graphics designer from Madrid, Spain, loves to use different creative methods to develop products. He has also designed various unique LED neon-shaped lights. This time, he tried using 3D modeling software for the first time to design a hexagonal light fixture.
We import Duke Doks' 3D model file into Ultimaker Cura slicing software. By adjusting the actual printing position of the model in the software, both the upper and lower casings of the light fixture can be completed in a single 3D printing operation!
Simply 3D print one model, and with the FormBox vacuum forming machine, you can endlessly replicate numerous vacuum-formed molds, which is incredibly convenient and fast!
Duke Doks arranges the LED light strips in the 3D printed light fixture base cover, then arranges all the hexagons as desired. Finally, he places the vacuum-formed outer casing on top and powers on the LED light strips. A mesmerizing visual feast is about to begin!
The lampshade made from white plastic sheets, when covering the LED light strips, creates a hazy glow effect that is visually very therapeutic. It works perfectly as an interior design ornament, a night light, a party accessory, or a sculptural art piece!
High-quality LED wall panels, easy to make at home! Moreover, with a vacuum forming machine and a 3D printer, companies and studios can use a similar approach to infinitely multiply and save significant costs incurred during the back-and-forth production in the development and testing phase. This is applicable not only for initial prototype development but can even be used directly after completion, just like Duke Doks!
Choose different colored LED light strips to change the neon light color according to your mood! Did you enjoy this sharing? 3DMart offers more than just 3D printing.
