3D Printed Gantry Lights Go Wireless

Gantri, and San A Francisco-based company known for making soft, 3D-printed lamps is going wireless. This is due to a new contract with the Ammunition company.

Gantry It 3D-prints its lamps using plastics made from corn polylactic acid (PLA) at its Bay Area facility. The result is a range of stylish lighting fixtures with soft curves that aim to make high-quality lighting affordable. (Prices since $200 to $500.)

Last year, the company launched a program called Gantri Made, which allows consumers settings their lights and provides third-party designers the ability to create their designs using Gantri base pieces.

Gantry at first they agreed and Ammunition in 2020, creating a line of beautiful lamps that focus on the original light pieces. You almost saw something built with Weaponsof flair. The company was created Beats by Dre headphonesand Square tablets for sale that you see in stores everywhere, and many other services, from robot coffee machine to Jay-Z failed weed vape cartridges.

Gantri’s new collaboration is a series of lamps that include floor lamps, table lamps, and small enough to hold in your hand. (They’re rectangular, with a design inspired by the piers around San Francisco.) All of the lights are wireless and can be removed from the charging ports for what Gantri says is 10 or more hours of battery life. Gantri is also developing an electronic control system. They will work with them Storyan integration standard that requires smart home technology from different companies to work together, but that integration isn’t expected until next year.

Gantri CEO Ian Yang said that throughout human history, sources of light were things that people carried around – torches, candles, lanterns. Fixed lighting has become the norm, but they want these wireless lights to show that there’s an alternative.

“I think this is going to change the way people think about lighting, and how they think about the digital power of these new things that are made from plants,” says Yang.

The lights have a custom lighting port, which allows them to stand up and look in any direction while still receiving a charge. They also require a traditional charger and cannot be charged via USB-C or another cable in another room. This can limit the mobility that the lamp promises, because you can’t move it from room to room and connect it with the USB-C cable lying around – you have to bring your own cable. But Yang says this was a deliberate choice, even if it was more difficult than finding a USB-C port. He wanted the lamps to feel portable while still having room to be indoor.
