October 2002 - DSM Somos® and the magazines NewDesign and Time-Compression Technologies have announced the call for entries for the ‘eMotion in Motion’ design competition for students and professional designers. Under the theme “ProtoFunctional® Safety in Travel”, the competition invites participants to challenge traditional concepts in industrial design, and explore the creativity and innovation made possible through the use of layer additive manufacturing technologies. The student and qualified designer competition categories are open for registration at <www.dsmsomos.com/e-motion> from October 2002 through April 2003. Projects must be submitted by 20 June 2003 in STL electronic format, which will allow immediate creation of their digital design.

The competition is oriented at exploring how advanced ProtoFunctional® materials and layer additive technologies can affect presentation and development in the design arena. ‘Layer additive’ technologies permit the 3D realisation of a design by building it in a sequence of layers, and thus are not restricted by the limitations necessarily associated with traditiona manufacturing processes. Once associated exclusively to the rapid prototyping (RP) industry, layer additive technologies are gradually evolving into a rapid manufacturing industry, allowing time and complexity advantages to be applied not only to prototypes, but also to the realisation of the end product. In the near future, these technologies are predicted to permit significant cost and time savings benefits in a variety of manufacturing applications. Of significant interest to the design world will be the design freedom in terms of complexity of form and structure that will be achievable.

The contest is open to students officially enrolled for the university year 2002-2003 in the faculties of design, industrial design or engineering in a college, school or university; and to all graduated designers, design engineers and engineers. All finalists will receive a three dimensional rapid prototype of their design. The finalist winner in both the student and designer category will each receive 5,000 Euro in rapid prototyping services, with an additional 2,000 Euro in rapid prototyping services donated to the student winner’s college or university industrial/engineering design department. Participants must submit the CAD design of their projects in STL file format, which will be used for the direct 3D realisation of the finalist entries. The creation of STL files is common to all CAD software and is often as simple as selecting “>File >Save as”.

The awards ceremony will take place at TCT 2003 Fair & Conference (MICC, Manchester, UK, October 15th & 16th 2003).

The eMotion in Motion website <www.dsmsomos.com/e-motion> enables registration from all countries, and provides complete details, rules & regulations, and an extensive designers’ FAQ’s forum. The multi-lingual content of the ‘eMotion in Motion’ web site will go live on October 20th 2002, in French, Spanish, Italian and German.
