Cubify Sunglass Contest Challenges Your Creativity

Open until August 31st, Cubify is running a contest to design a pair of 3D printed sunglasses and will award the winner a free (shipping included) 3D printer. Which model is not determined and based on various factors stipulated in their “official rules” guidelines, but nevertheless, one’s whacky and novel design may procure a nice reward. The competition promises to be stiff considering it is open to anyone with internet access, excluding a few territories like Syria, North Korea, and Quebec, Canada. The contest will be judged by Cubify artists and the winner will have a 14 day window to respond to claim his or her reward.

Sunglass Design Challenge Hero Cubify

Any modeling software may be used, and Cubify graciously offers a 14-day free trial of its Cubify Invent software, yet all files must be submitted in .STL format. A link to Cubify’s Party Glasses app is listed as a possible source of inspiration, though they remind contestants that all files must be under 18mb. Well vested in social outlets and user-friendly design, Cubify urges contestants and consumers alike to vote for favorite designs. If anyone would like to know more information on the winner of the context, although there is a month left, feel free to send a self-addressed stamped envelope to Cubify Sunglass Design Challenge, ”Winners List” 431 Tehama St., San Francisco, CA 94103.

An open forum challenge such as the one Cubify offers can tap into a competitive stream of creativity and test out their software with the free 14-day trial.  After sweating through designs or struck with a flash of mused inspiration, there is no doubt you will have a design superior to Kanye West, something with swag or cray cray or whatever else passes for hip slang these days.
