Stratasys, manufacturer of 3D printers and materials for personal use, prototyping and production, proudly represented by Objective3D in Australia and New Zealand has selected finalists for the 10th annual Extreme Redesign 3D Printing Challenge.
 The global contest offers students in middle school, high school and college the opportunity to redesign an existing product or to create a new product that improves how a task is accomplished. Entries are evaluated based on creativity, being mechanically sound and being realistically achievable.

The top-10 finalists in each category (middle school/high school engineering, college engineering and art/architecture) will receive a 3D printed model of their design and a $50 gift card.
