2007 Extreme Redesign: The Ultimate 3D Printing Challenge

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 2007 Extreme Redesign Challenge will consist of three categories: A high school level engineering challenge, a college-level engineering challenge and 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 your best, innovative and creative redesigns for the 2007 Extreme Redesign Engineering Challenge.

And for the first time, Dimension is calling on graphic arts and architectural students to send us your best, innovative and creative designs for the 2007 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 25 redesigns from each category will be brought to life by the use of a Dimension 3D Printer and the models will be sent back to the students along with a $50 Visa 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 April 16, 2007 through December 31, 2007.
