3D Lamps — The Pioneer
Gabriel Gomes was the pioneer who brought visibility to 3D printed lamps in Portugal and beyond. Long before printers had multicolor capabilities, Gabriel was already creating stunning pieces with impressive light effects — using just an Artillery Sidewinder X1 with a single nozzle.
At a time when no one was exploring this concept, Gabriel showed the world that it was possible to create artistic and functional lamps with 3D printing. Today, this type of piece has become popular, but it all started here — with creativity, experimentation, and a desire to innovate.
All these lamps were created with only one nozzle, on an Artillery Sidewinder X1 — long before multicolor printers existed. Gabriel was the one who invented and popularized this concept, proving that creativity overcomes technical limitations.
