AI + 3D Printing: Ushering in a New Era for Lighting.
2025-09-10


In the AI era, AI modeling has significantly enhanced the efficiency of 3D printing. MMLA 3D printing polymer alloy materials, with their exceptional performance, can endure long-term use in harsh outdoor environments, truly enabling the large-scale adoption of 3D printing materials in industrial production. This sharing session focuses on the application of 3D printing in outdoor lighting, exploring how it empowers efficient and personalized lighting solutions.
