IDSA Hosting 3D Printing Contest at Annual Meeting
If you’ve ever had the desire to design a 3D-printed car, you might want to add The Industrial Designers Society of America’s 2013 International Conference to your schedule.

They won’t exactly be ready for NASCAR, but next month a few select members of the Industrial Designers Society of America will have a chance to show off some hot wheels of their own. The twist: The car competition is actually a 3-D printing contest (opens in a new tab).
Attendees of IDSA’s international conference in Chicago August 21-24 are being invited to design a 3-D-printed car to launch down a ski-slope track on the conference’s last day. The top 10 designs will be selected before the event, and the cars will be then judged on best flight (distance/style), most spectacular crash, and best aesthetics.
The top prize is a 3-D printer; runners-up will receive a $100 gift card for Inventables.com, which is sponsoring the contest. There’s no cost to enter, and if you can’t make it, no worries—the association is allowing folks who aren’t attending its annual meeting to pick up a prize as well.
For more information on entering the contest, visit IDSA’s conference website (opens in a new tab).
