You may have heard of Dirk Vander Kooij’s Endless chair made layer by layer from recycled materials with a modified assembly line robot printer. It was one of the most exciting 3D printing project of last year.

The Dutch designer presented his new 3D printing project a few days ago at the Milan Design Week 2012, where Sculpteo was pretty active too. The Satellite Lamp is made from recycled CD cases and fluorescent lights placed between the 3D printed layers.

A great example of how 3D printing is shaping a greener future by enabling the use of recycled materials and letting designers and engineers innovate closely together.
