2008-09 Extreme Redesign: The Ultimate 3D Printing Challenge
The submission deadline for entries has now passed. Thank you to everyone who participated! We will be announcing the winners in late April.
Have you ever had a great idea for a way to improve a product that you use everyday? Or are you creative enough to design a building or work of art from scratch? Either way, here is your opportunity…
The 2008-09 Extreme Redesign Challenge will consist of three categories:
- a high school level engineering challenge
- a college level engineering challenge
- an art & architectural challenge open to students of all grade levels
In
the past, thousands of students have submitted their great ideas and
brought those ideas to life with a Dimension 3D Printer. Dimension,
the world’s leading provider of desktop 3D printers, is once
again calling on high school and college-level CAD students worldwide
to send us their best, innovative and creative redesigns for the 2008
Extreme Redesign Engineering Challenge. In addition, graphic arts
and architectural students are invited to send us their best, innovative
and creative designs for the 2008 Extreme Redesign Art & Architecture
Challenge.
Winners
in each of the three categories will receive a $2,500 scholarship
and runner-ups will receive $1,000 scholarships. The top 10 redesigns
from each category will be printed on a Dimension 3D Printer and the
models will be sent back to the students along with a $50 gift card.
Everyone who enters the contest will receive an official Extreme Redesign
T-shirt, courtesy of Dimension 3D Printing.
Entries will be accepted starting September 30, 2008 through February 1, 2009.
