Many of us know 3D printing technology is an innovative and highly versatile technology with many useful and interesting applications already in practice. Perhaps one of the more interesting applications was the showing of the worlds first fully functional air conditioner produced with 3D printing technology. Complete with 3D printed LED display it was announced by Haier Group, a leading Chinese multinational company at the Shanghai Appliance & Electronics Show.
The elegantly styled air conditioner created considerable interest and attention. What direction this technology takes us will be very interesting to see.In the near future, everything about the model (even the PC boards) will be made with a 3D printer and therefore adjustable to your own wishes.
The Haier air conditioner is shaping up to be the perfect model for people who want their air conditioner to fully blend in with their décor and style. Even names, photos and logos can be added to the model, as its 3D printed nature simply provides a lot of different options for customization.
