Wall by Day, Light by Night: 3D Printing and Flexible Linear Lights Illuminate Wuhan's Optical Valley Landmark
2025-07-15

Wuhan World City Plaza is a flagship project in Wuhan's Optical Valley area. Its unique geographical location and large youth consumer base make it a key node in the city's development. The project integrates advanced 3D printing technology with flexible linear lights. These elements function as part of the building's curtain wall during the day and transform into luminous lighting fixtures at night.

In this nighttime renovation project, the colored light panel lights serve as crucial visual elements. Their surface textures and complex structures were difficult to achieve using traditional manufacturing methods. Furthermore, to fit the irregular shape of the curtain wall, four different sizes needed customization. 3D printing technology effectively solved these challenges, significantly boosting production efficiency while substantially reducing costs.

Moreover, these 3D-printed colored light panel lights are made using MMLA 3D printing outdoor polymer alloy material. Its flame retardancy, resistance to high and low temperatures, and UV resistance are significantly superior to traditional light-diffusing panels. With an outdoor service life of over 10 years, it ensures the project's long-term stable operation and further reduces later maintenance costs.

Notably, eight different lengths of flexible linear lights are installed on the back of the curtain wall aluminum panels. Working in concert with the 3D-printed colored light panel lights, they utilize light reflection, refraction, and diffuse reflection to create rich lighting and shadow effects while providing a comfortable visual experience for pedestrians.

Through meticulous control of the installation methods and light sources, the project presents diverse lighting effects and trendy color schemes at night, allowing every visitor to the plaza to enjoy a high-quality lighting experience.
