Competitions
3D printing is not a fiction anymore. It's everywhere now. 3D printed edible food is a reality: pasta is being served in Google office already. Some people have changed melted plastic into cookie dough-filled syringe, use the same software and 3D print nothing else, but cookies. "Nike" has already printed cleat for the shoes. 3D printed acoustic guitar plays no worse than a usual one. A couple of journalists brought 3D printed gun on a plane without any security inspection.
So we decided to wait no longer. At this very moment CGTrader is opening up the 3D printing competition!
If you ever had a dream to make your favourite 3D character real, it is about to come true. So, are you ready to 3D print it? CGTrader is looking for new talents and calls all designers to step into this exciting technology. Acquire fresh modeling skills and enhance your creativity!
Could you try to guess what is the grand prize?
That's right - the winners will receive two stunning Ultimaker 3D printers! In order to remember the childhood the winners will have to construct them themselves! You will also receive 3D printer filaments from FILACO, a gift card for 3D printing from Sculpteo and 3D printing of the winning model by 3D Print UK. Runners-up will also receive striking prizes. Who on the Earth would not be fascinated to have their own 3D models showcased in iMakr, the largest 3D printing store in the world?
To participate in the 3D printing competition, CGTrader does not ask for anything impossible. No pressure to turn iron into the gold. No trips to the Mars and back. All you have to do is:
a) Upload your 3D print-ready models for sale or for download to CGTrader;
b) Be sure they are 3D printableand in .STL format;
c) Mark them as 'print-ready';
d) Do it until the 30th of June. It is more than easy and we call it a challenge!
