In case you'd hadn't noticed, GrabCAD has two new challenges up and running! Team-up, bring your best ideas, make an elegant design and have a chance to win it all!
Dampening Device for Windbreaker doors for large Mega-Yachts
-Under heavy winds, doors are difficult to open and close by passengers and crew. Design a hinge and door that resists wind yet is easy to open and close.
-First prize is 2000 big ones! Second prize is nothing to sneeze at either - $1500. Third is $500 - plenty to go around.
-This is a difficult challenge with plenty of payback. Collaboration is highly recommended if you want to win!
This challenge ends at Noon GMT on June 5th, 2012
Useful 3D Printed Tool Challenge
-Design any tool that you can think of! It could be a unique tool or a unique reiteration of an existing tool, for any industry (Photography, Aerospace, Automotive, etc.)
-The entire tool has to be 3D-printable - 'non-printed' parts cannot be added later (ie/ ball bearings, bushings)
-If it is not obvious how your tool makes life easier or how it works, clearly explain this in your user manual step-by-step and upload it as a PDF or Word Document.
-First, Second and Third Prize-winners will receive a 3D printed tool, and 4th to 10th placed competitors will receive a nice and shiny GrabCAD T-Shirt!
