Caution: This contest is open to French residents only.

Your challenge is to think, imagine and create the ideal 3D object. The object that will be the testimony of technological prowess achievable in 3D printing. This object can have the shape you want, but it must really be the result of a thinking on the benefits of production and design of a 3D object and make it the incarnation .
