3D Printer World Launches Design Contests Awarding $80,000
3D Printer World has rolled out three design contests and a fourth is scheduled to begin on Dec. 2 as a GrabCAD Challenge. Each contest will award $15,000 to the first place winner, with second and third place honorees earning $3,000 and $2,000 respectively, bringing the total prize pool for the four competitions to $80,000 in cash – the largest sum ever awarded in a 3D printable design contest series.
The first, second and third-place winners in all four contests will be announced, recognized and awarded their cash prizes at the 3D Printer World Expo in Burbank, Calif., Jan. 31-Feb. 1. Additionally, contest finalists will have their designs 3D printed and displayed at the show.
The three active contests include:
- Jewelry: Cherishing Memories/Reaching for Dreams
- Character Art: Monster Manifestations, co-sponsored by Sculpteo
- Abstract Art: Envisioning the Renaissance
The fourth contest, co-sponsored by GoEngineer, is called Gears of Invention and tailored for CAD designers. Its theme, rules and requirements will be announced on Dec. 2 when the contest goes live on the GrabCAD website.
