MyMiniFactory have partnered up with petroleum giant Esso Petroleum Company Limited (“Esso”) for a second design challenge, offering the chance to participants to win an incredible CB3 3D printer. After the success of the upcycling-themed challenge Esso is looking for another successful campaign.
What to design?
In this design contest, participants must come up with a new design to differentiate the premium fuel pump handle from the standard design, to give premium fuel users a more premium/exclusive experience when refueling their vehicle.
Whilst the design you must come up with is limited to the fuel pump handle, you may be creative in innovating or including other elements of the user experience into your concept. Supporting documents explain your thinking, ergonomics, and renders are all encouraged. Think of this as your product innovation pitch to Esso.
Esso current designs
As a driver using the premium fuel pump, you know what is best for your car. For those customers using the premium pump, looking the part is key and the whole design must reflect this premium experience. Esso has therefore reached out to the MyMiniFactory community to find a way to innovate their current designs and improve the user experience.
They have released short Youtube videos, each in about a minute-long explaining the reasons for their ingredients in their Synergy Fuels and its advantages on your vehicle – you can use these as inspiration for your own design!
For the first time on MyMiniFactory, all entries for this design challenge will remain private. This design challenge is entirely focused on innovation, and only Esso officials will see the entries and judge the designs. Participants are asked not to share their designs on social media, as the winning design will be considered for future marketing initiatives.
