***Reminder: Cubify Challenge deadline to enter your most awesome design is August 31st! 

Last week, we got to go to SIGGRAPH! We chatted with thousands of animators, gamers, graphic artists, traditional artists, educators and even 3D enthusiasts. We’re so excited to see what this community will make. We heard animators talking about 3D printing to prototype character design, teachers talking about bringing 3D printing to the classroom, and more!

And that’s precisely why we picked SIGGRAPH as our inspiration to launch our first design contest, the Cubify Challenge. We were so impressed by the amazing creative energy in the community that we wanted to make sure to give it a warm welcome! And what better welcome than a design challenge to win a Cube 3D printer. Of course, the contest is open to all, so don’t forget to submit something awesome by the end of the month!
