Having already put together a special report on how manufacturing companies are using SpaceClaim, we’re co-hosting a webinar on the topic.

Our very own Editor in Chief Al Dean, and SpaceClaim’s Application Engineer John Graham will be looking at:

• preparing concept models for quotations

• working with all manner of engineering data

• speeding up faster thinking and documenting those ideas

• preparing models for machining

Organisers of the 3D Print Cup are wanting you to design your ultimate action hero, in return they’ll print out your creation, and enter it into a fight to the death where the winner will receive a MakerBot 3D printer.

The team are also hosting a launch party on 13 June, complete with a free bar and a drop-in session so you can trial the technology. All entries must be submitted in full before 27 June.

All your hard work will culminate in a bad-ass awards-cum-networking event on 11 July, which will determine the most deserving winners, and put their powers to the test in an old-skool ‘Top Trumps’ style tournament played with cards made from the collective entries.
