The contest is now over, thanks for so much for your participation!
The contest is now closed. You can see here the 3 winners of the contest.
With Polymaker, enter the 3D design and printing competition around organic shapes, inspired by nature.
To participate in this original contest, all you have to do is design a 3D model of an organic shape that is appealing to the eye or an organic object that serves a purpose. Be inspired by living objects in nature and create something that is beautiful, useful or both! Stay clear of hard edged blocky designs and let your imagination flow.
Models can include, for example, objects related to every kind of elements in nature: wood, stone, crystals, plant materials. For example, you can recreate the appearance of a tree trunk or the effect of ripples that spread over the water. Our best advice: observe nature and create a beautiful and useful object from your observations.
Whether you are an artist, engineer or handyman, you can all participate in this free contest and demonstrate how 3D printer is a great innovation that is useful for improving everyday life!
The contest will run from May 15th 2019 to August 15th 2019.

Mention in the description of your design the hashtag: #POLYMAKERCHALLENGE
