Every day we are overwhelmed by the amazing designs and creative projects that get uploaded to our website. To celebrate the dedication, creativity and trust of our 3D Printing community, we decided to introduce a “Designer of the Year Award” for outstanding designers in 2013. During 2014, we kept a close eye out for the most inspirational designers, makers or hobbyists and challenged you to submit your best projects for this annual event.

One of these three nominees will ultimately receive the title of “Designer of the Year 2014” and get hold of the new trophy that was exclusively designed by AmniosyA, winners of the 2013 competition.
