Stratasys honors scholarship winners for 2017 Extreme Redesign 3D Printing Challenge

July 5, 2017 By Danielle Kirsh

StratasysStratasys, the 3D printing and additive manufacturing solutions company, unveiled winning entries for the 2017 Extreme Redesign 3D Printing Challenge. Judging submissions from more than 900 student inventors, engineers, artists and entrepreneurs, this year’s contest was co-hosted by GrabCAD and fully supported in the GrabCAD Community – the world’s largest online collaborative environment for designers, engineers and manufacturers.

Now in its 13th year, the globally-recognized contest empowers students with a unique opportunity to redesign an existing product, create a new product that improves how tasks are accomplished, or design an original work of art or architecture – all through the power of 3D printing. All submissions are closely evaluated across a range of select criteria, including being mechanically sound, realistically achievable and highly creative.

This year’s panel of judges included noted authorities across consulting, engineering, manufacturing and education. Among the thought leaders:

  • Todd Grimm, President, T.A. Grimm and Associates
  • Diana Foster, Manufacturing Engineer II, Harris Corporation
  • Ryan Erickson, Cedar Park STEM School, District 196, Apple Valley, Minn.
  • Michael Santolupo, Design Teacher, John Paul II Catholic Secondary School, London, Ontario

“3D printing has the potential to transform industries – truly revolutionizing how things are made. Our Extreme Redesign Challenge regularly highlights the most significant student innovations achieved with 3D printing, led by the intellect of young minds,” said Gina Scala, Director of Marketing, Global Education, Stratasys. “This year, we received some of the strongest entries in the contest’s 10-plus year history. These winners truly represent the ‘best of the best’ in student creativity and design.”

Entrants in the 2017 contest leveraged the GrabCAD Community Challenge platform to submit works across such major categories as: Engineering – Secondary Education (middle/high school); Engineering – Post-Secondary (university, college or post-secondary); Art, Architecture, and Design (any grade level); and the NCATC Member School Category. Top scholarship winners for 2017 include:

The National Coalition of Advanced Technology Centers (NCATC) winner is awarded a $1,000 scholarship.
