Win a $4k Craftbot 3D Printing Industry Awards Trophy Design Competition update

The fourth edition of the3D印刷行业奖今年11月举行,正如传统一样,我们现在正在为获奖者寻找新的3D打印奖杯设计奖杯设计竞赛.

数字制造提供商protolabsreturns to sponsor the event for the third time, and the prize for the winning trophy will be generously provided byCraftbot. The community-led contest challenges entrants to design a trophy that celebrates the unique capabilities of 3D printing.

获胜的奖杯设计将由Protolabs复制,并授予3D印刷行业奖。获奖奖杯的设计师还将获得其设计的3D打印模型,而CraftBot Flow iDex XL 3D打印机的价值为3,999美元。

CraftBot Flow IDEX XL是一种大格式FDM/FFF 3D打印机,具有两个独立的挤出机 - 允许多色和多物质3D打印。我们的工程团队把CraftBot Flow IDEX XL今年早些时候测试并得出结论:“大量精心设计的功能使这种隐藏的宝石成为专业人士的奇妙大型3D打印机。”

比赛由myminifactory, a 3D design, and file-sharing community. Applicants interested in submitting their design for the Trophy Design Competition must do so via MyMiniFactory, no later than September 30th.

到目前为止,许多条目通过使用半透明/透明材料打印的想法来引入有趣的美学元素。

到目前为止,今年的奖杯设计竞赛已上传以下条目:

The Voronoi Ruby Trophy designed byMadhav Parekhconsists of a transparent linear sweep pattern and red Voronoi sliding in, locking together in a tight fit. According to Parekh, it would “look amazing” if it were to be fabricated by Protolabs.

设计简介和技术考虑

  • Include a lattice structure
  • 设计用于用两种不同的材料打印,一个零件SLA和一部分MJF或SLS
  • Use internal channels
  • 为SLA零件包含至少0.15-0.20mm的多个功能(最好在同一方向上)。
  • 对于MJF或SLS零件为0.75毫米的最小特征大小
  • Be a min/max trophy size of 75x75x75mm/125x125x125mm
  • 针对SLA和MJF或SLS优化

参赛者的主要技巧

  • 考虑一下您的设计与简介有关的设计,以及如何最好地优化3D打印。
  • Make sure you read all the design constraints and download all designer resources to ensure you are on the right track.
  • Since Protolabs can print in translucent/clear material, it’s worth thinking about how you can play with aesthetics. Adding internal cavities and features is an excellent way of making your design appear unique from the outside.
  • 确保在提交中添加渲染,以演示设计的内部功能。
  • Once your design is approved, post it on Twitter with the tags #3DPIAwards, @MyMiniFactory, @3DPrintIndustry, @Protolabs
