As we welcome the new year, we invite you to reimagine and enhance everyday living.
The “New Year, New Me Design Competition” calls on engineers and designers to craft something extraordinary for the home—an object that combines functionality with elegance to improve daily life.
Design a 3D-printable solution for a practical household need. Whether it’s an organizer, a kitchen tool, or a storage piece, your creation should feel at home in a modern living space.
Focus on blending smart functionality with thoughtful design.
Here’s all you need to know to get started – follow these guidelines to ensure your design meets the competition requirements.
Your design must fit within a 14 x 14 x 14-inch build volume and should not require splitting into multiple parts.
All submissions must be designed for additive manufacturing using PLA material and optimized for 3D printing.
The design should require minimal supports to ensure efficient and clean printing.
If your design absolutely must be split into parts for functionality or assembly, ensure all pieces fit seamlessly and maintain overall simplicity.
The design should not exceed 30% infill to balance structural integrity and material efficiency.
This is your chance to innovate with purpose. Push the limits of 3D printing and bring your ideas to life within the framework of this competition.
Showcase your creativity by designing something that’s not only functional and beautiful but also embodies the spirit of “New Year, New Me.”
