MakerBot Industries and the New Museum on the Bowery in Lower Manhattan, have launched a new 3D design challenge.
Leveraging the Thing-O-Matic 3D printer, the New Museum MakerBot Challenge is focused on improving or personalizing established design conventions for everything from toothbrushes to bicycle gears. The challenge is open to everyone, and entries and designs can be posted and shared using MakerBot's online community at Thingiverse.com.
The content ends on October 31, 2011. Entries will be judged by a team of representatives from both MakerBot and the New Museum.
The winning design will be printed on a MakerBot displayed in the New Museum Stores window, and the creator will win a MakerBot Thing-O-Matic Kit, as well as a deluxe membership to the New Museum, and a special invitation to the New Museum MakerBot Challenge launch party. Five runner-ups will have their designs printed by MakerBot and sent to them.
The challenge is part of a larger collaboration between MakerBot and the New Museum, in which 25 limited-edition Thing-O-Matics will be sold in the New Museum Store adorned with the New Museums logo.
