3D Printshow has teamed up with GRABCAD to challenge all of the budding designers out there:

Challenge yourself to take an everyday household product you would find in the kitchen, living room or bedroom and rework it for 3D printing. Focus on making your design unique and functional.

Expand your mind and try to redesign something that you wouldn’t normally think to 3D print – there’s more to the house than vases and lamps! Step out of your comfort zone and create fresh, functional products that would surprise and delight anyone who takes pride in a well-designed home.

Get over to the GRABCAD website and get involved!

You spoke, we listened! 3D Printmag Issue 2 is available IN ADVANCE for Android devices. Featuring interviews with Matthew Plummer Fernandez, Jason Lopes (legacy Effects) Andrew Dent (Faberdashery) and much more!

Enjoy!

We’ve been looking around the world to try and find the most unusual, inspiring, heart-warming or just plain weird applications for 3D printing. From prosthetic feet for ducks to ornate shells for hermit crabs, 3D Printed fetuses to…. well, we can’t give it all away. You’ll just have to come check out the Weird and Wonderful section of 3D Printshow 2013.
