Method for producing a luminaire housing

A method for producing a luminaire housing on an additive manufacturing system includes selecting a luminaire housing base shape from which a data file of a first convex polyhedral model is built, rescaling the first convex polyhedral model into a larger convex polyhedral model, filling the larger c...

Zusammenfassung:	A method for producing a luminaire housing on an additive manufacturing system includes selecting a luminaire housing base shape from which a data file of a first convex polyhedral model is built, rescaling the first convex polyhedral model into a larger convex polyhedral model, filling the larger convex polyhedral model with multiple versions of the first convex polyhedral model, separating larger convex polyhedral shape model into structural unit shape, and providing the data file containing the structural unit shapes to the additive manufacturing system. In some implementations an interior volume of the larger convex polyhedral shape model can be cleared of portions of first convex polyhedral model. The method includes the additive manufacturing system producing one or more structural units based on the structural unit shapes described in the electronic data file. A non-transitory computer readable medium, and a luminaire housing including a light source are described.
