Furniture giant IKEA has launched a bespoke service in Germany, a commercial line of on-demand 3D printed decorations.
For a long time, IKEA has been using 3D printing technology to make prototypes of various furniture for design verification and has explored the application of 3D printing technology in the field of furniture for a period of time. The on-demand 3D printed decorations launched this time are their first 3D printed products. Using SLS 3D printing technology, the material is nylon. It can already be ordered through IKEA's official website in Germany. There are two types of products: portrait sculpture and hand sculpture with lattice structure. The colors are white and black, and the price ranges from 29.99 euros to 49.99 euros.
The main function of these decorations is decoration. Of course, if they are fixed, they can also be used as hooks to hang bags, hats, clothes, and other items.
IKEA's Israeli company has also released some accessories based on 3D printing, including easy-to-pull handles, giant switches, glass bumpers, friendly zippers, curtain grips, and other accessories. However, they do not 3D print physical products but publish the 3D models on the website, and customers can download them on demand and 3D print them by themselves. I feel that this is a very good business model. When a customer’s furniture is damaged and a part needs to be replaced, he can go to the website to download the corresponding 3D model and then 3D print it out.
