At the German IFA show, Haier won the day with the presentation of its latest 3D printed air conditioning unit. The exterior, designed to mimic the appearance and movement of fish scales, is attractive enough to have a place in any interior without looking industrial. 3D printing was used not only for the creation of the decorative components, but the board controlling the machine was 3D printed as well. This is a commitment to 3D printing as a method of fabrication that has worked well for Haier and the overwhelmingly positive reviews of their latest product has reinforced that process as a good fit.
