3D Print Challenge: Resources for COVID-19 Protection
3D design and 3D printing can play a role in helping us get through the COVID-19 outbreak. By enabling anyone to manufacture just about any design, 3D printing can produce useful gadgets on demand like air filter holders and door openers as well as face shields.
Manufacturers and supply lines all over the world are currently under a lot of pressure to provide enough protective gear for both healthcare professionals and the general public. 3D printed gadgets can contribute to this need and help home users to better protect themselves against Coronavirus.
For this reason we at CGTrader are calling on all designers to create and upload free 3D printable models for COVID-19 prevention.
To join the challenge, upload your 3D models to CGTrader by following these rules:
- 3D models have to be 3D printable to participate in the challenge.
- Make sure you select “Participate in 3D Print Challenge: Resources for COVID-19 Protection challenge” checkbox in the 3D model uploading screen.
- The deadline for submissions to this challenge is May 12.
If you have uploaded a 3D model dedicated to COVID-19 protection previously, please go to editing options and select the “Participate in 3D Print Challenge: Resources for COVID-19 Protection challenge” checkbox to join this challenge. Or you can simply add a covid-19-protection-resources tag to 3D models you’d like to join the challenge with.
