摘要：
One embodiment provides a luminaire. The luminaire includes a light transfer structure, and a thermal management structure. The light transfer structure is configured to receive light from at least one light emitting diode (LED). The thermal management structure is configured to manage a thermal energy of the at least one LED. The light transfer structure and the thermal management structure are formed during a same three-dimensional (3D) printing process.

CLAIMS
What is claimed is:
1. A lighting apparatus comprising: a light transfer structure configured to receive light from at least one light emitting diode (LED); and a thermal management structure configured to manage a thermal energy of the at least one LED, wherein the light transfer structure and the thermal management structure are formed during a same three-dimensional (3D) printing process.
2. The lighting apparatus of claim 1, wherein the light transfer structure and the thermal management structure are combined in an integrated structure.
3. The lighting apparatus of claim 1, wherein the thermal management structure comprises at least one thermal management element configured to facilitate heat transfer from the at least one LED.
4. The lighting apparatus of claim 1, wherein the light transfer structure is selected from the group comprising a reflector, a diffuser, and a lens.
5. The lighting apparatus according to claims 1 to 4, wherein at least one of the light transfer structure and/or the thermal management structure comprises a decorative feature.
6. The lighting apparatus according to claims 1 to 4, wherein the thermal management structure is a heat sink.
7. The lighting apparatus according to claims 1 to 4, wherein a surface of the light transfer structure is specular or diffuse.
8. The lighting apparatus according to claims 1 to 4, wherein the thermal management structure comprises at least one thermal management element, each thermal management element comprising a polymer and a plurality of thermally conductive particles.
32
9. The lighting apparatus according to claims 1 to 4, wherein the thermal management structure comprises at least one thermal management element, each thermal management element comprising a composite material.
10. The lighting apparatus of claim 9, wherein the composite material comprises a first material and a second material, the second material configured to enhance a thermal conductivity of each thermal management element.
11. A luminaire comprising: a light engine comprising at least one light emitting diode (LED); a light transfer structure configured to receive light from the light engine; and a thermal management structure configured to manage a thermal energy of the light engine, wherein the light transfer structure and the thermal management structure are formed during a same three-dimensional (3D) printing process.
12. The luminaire of claim 11, wherein the light transfer structure and the thermal management structure are combined in an integrated structure.
13. The luminaire of claim 11, wherein the thermal management structure comprises at least one thermal management element configured to facilitate heat transfer from the light engine.
14. The luminaire of claim 11, wherein the light transfer structure is selected from the group comprising a reflector, a diffuser, and a lens.
15. The luminaire according to claims 11 to 14, wherein at least one of the light transfer structure and/or the thermal management structure comprises a decorative feature.
16. The luminaire according to claims 11 to 14, wherein the thermal management structure is a heat sink.
17. The luminaire according to claims 11 to 14, wherein a surface of the light transfer structure is specular or diffuse.
33
18. The luminaire according to claims 11 to 14, wherein the thermal management structure comprises at least one thermal management element, each thermal management element comprising a polymer and a plurality of thermally conductive particles.
19. The luminaire according to claims 11 to 14, wherein the thermal management structure comprises at least one thermal management element, each thermal management element comprising a composite material.
20. The luminaire of claim 19, wherein the composite material comprises a first material and a second material, the second material configured to enhance a thermal conductivity of each thermal management element.
