NAYA wanted to challenge their AI powered new platform versus the traditional way of designing products. The brief was to design a Desk Lamp for home office work. It had to be a DIY project to be built entirely at home by 3D printing owners or people who have access to them. We set up two teams, where one could only us AI to generate a Desk Lamp from idea to prototype and the other team would use traditional methods from ideation, sketching, 3D modeling and prototyping. It was a great exercise to see the implications of AI in our industry. The lamp we show here is one of the results from this exercise. -- Summary: Design & Development The design process began with AI-assisted generative modeling, which analyzed structural integrity, material efficiency, and aesthetic appeal. The goal was to create a lamp that required fewer parts without compromising stability or lighting performance. The teams iterated between traditional and AI methods through multiple design variations, optimizing for strength, weight reduction, and printability. 3D Printing & DIY Assembly One of the core principles of this project was accessibility. The entire lamp is designed to be 3D printed on standard home printers using PLA or PETG filament. The assembly process is intuitive, using simple snap-fit joints and minimal additional hardware (such as an LED module and wiring). This eliminates the need for screws, adhesives, or complex tools, making it an ideal DIY project for makers of all skill levels. Sustainability & Customization By reducing material waste and enabling users to manufacture their own lamps on demand, the project supports sustainability. Additionally, the modular design allows for customization—users can modify the shape, size, or color to fit their personal style and workspace needs. Conclusion This AI-designed, 3D-printed desk lamp exemplifies the future of product development: intelligent, efficient, and user-driven. By merging AI with digital fabrication, we empower individuals to create high-quality, functional products at home, redefining how everyday objects are designed and produced.
