Many exciting challenges come and go in the 3D design and 3D printing industry, inspiring both individual makers and startup teams to come forth with incredible new innovations that can offer great value worldwide. The winners usually show great potential and it’s generally just a matter of time before we see them in the limelight again. In this capacity, we’ve become very familiar with America Makes, following recent awardees for project calls and their latest, a $100K 3D printing contest with AMPED.
