Additive manufacturing embraces a considerable variety of materials and processes suitable for directly creating a wide range of 3D models, prototypes, mockups, tooling, end-use parts, assemblies and systems/subsystems. The virtually unlim- ited design freedom enabled by additive manufacturing allows the optimization of form, fi t and feature/function often not pos- sible by other means. Therefore, designers are challenged to showcase their technical and commercial talents by demon- strating new and creative ways additive manufacturing can add value through structural optimization in one or more market segments. All submissions must be received by April 20. The top designs in each academic level and category
will be recognized during RAPID, May 18–21, 2015, in Long Beach, CA. First-place winners receive a complimentary conference pass to RAPID 2015, a $300 travel stipend, a complimentary one-year student membership and other SME-branded award items. Competition rules and submission guidelines can be found at
sme.org/ddm-competition.
