Current Design Challenges
Google SketchUp & i.materialise 3D printed lamp Design Challenge | 3 September 2010 - 10 October 2010
In order to show you just how powerful and easy SketchUp is we got together with the Google SketchUp team to devise a Design Challenge that will test your product design and SketchUp skills to the limit. We've decided to let you make your very own 3D printed lamp. An actual lamp, unique, one of a kind, designed by you, complete with light and stand. The images below show you some fine examples. Can you come up with something even better?
