CGtrader_LogoCGTrader is ready to rock 2016 right away with a challenge that offers 3D designers a venue for showing off their work as well as offering an awesome opportunity to win a 3D printer. In the Fashion 3D Print Challenge, the well-known 3D model marketplace, backed by a strong professional designer community, is teaming up with Mbot3D, Lix, and Innofill3D. And if the joy of creating and 3D printing isn’t enough, the rewards for this contest should prove to be highly motivating.

Together, all four sponsors are offering items such as two Mbot GridII+ SH 3D PrintersLIX pens, and 3D printing filaments from Innofill 3D. While CGTrader normally offers 3D designers a great way to showcase their work, a competition like this takes that to a new level. They are calling on designs for two different categories: Best 3D Printing Fashion Model and Best 3D Printing Fashion Portfolio. Judges will select a first-place winner and a runner-up for each.
