It’s incredible to note that, today, nearly wherever design occurs, you can be sure that 3D printing is close behind. And, with the way that 3D printing has evolved, you can also be sure that any 3D designer or creative mouse pusher (and that could be you) is never far away either.
With their latest Apple Watch Accessories – 3D Printing Challenge, popular 3D model marketplace CGTrader is bringing you the opportunity to grab your very own slice of the Apple Watch pie. Slated to release in late April, this new wearable product from Apple promises to roll back time to the wrist-glancing, watch-wearing days of yesteryear, albeit with what could be a revolutionary touch.
The challenge requires you to design accessories (watch-stands, docks, cases, buckles, straps, travel pouches, and the like) exclusive to the Apple Watch. Any number of designs can be submitted and each will be judged on quality, innovation, and presentation by the judges at CGTrader. Further details and specifics are available here.
The best-designed model or portfolio stands to win 3Doodler 2.0 pens, cash awards, and other prizes. Not to mention that, when the smartwatch does go on sale in April, your accessory might just be the next must-have for Apple Watch enthusiasts. From idea to achievement, it really doesn’t get more accessible and timely than this. Thank Chuck Hull for that.
Anticipating the commercial interest in the accessories that could follow, CGTrader is accepting entries for the challenge only until April 1st, 2015. So, as far as the Apple Watch is concerned, your time starts now.
