BeeVeryCreative, the first Portuguese 3D printer manufacturer, is launching a worldwide 3D modelling challenge called "3D Print World Challenge – 3D modelling awesomeness for everyone, everywhere". It's a contest that challenges the users' creativity specially the ones connected to design and 3D modelling.
Entrants must create a 3D printable model in STL format, which falls in any of the following categories:
- Architecture
- Design (fashion, jewellery, decoration, art)
- Utilities (gadgets, household and office devices, games)
Your 3D model will be test printed on one of the BEETHEFIRST 3D printers and if it successfully passes this print test it will enter the challenge.
The challenge is open to everyone, and will run from April 17th until June 17th, 2014 at 11:59 pm (GMT). You can submit as many entries as you'd like.
Entries will be judged by representatives from BeeVeryCreative, 3D Print Show, 3D Artist and Moda Lisboa | Lisbon Fashion Week, based on creativity, feasibility in 3D printing on BEETHEFIRST and awesomeness.
The 3 top winners (one per category) will each receive a BEETHEFIRST 3D Printer + 8 Spools of filament (different colours). The 3 most voted models (one per category) on BeeVeryCreative's Facebook page will receive a 3D printed personalized trophy.
The BEETHEFIRST 3D printer is priced at €1,618 ($2,235) excluding tax.
