DREAM Gadget Design Contest
Design our gadget: it will be made by Poly-Shape and you could win a 3D PRINTER
The Competition
DREAM project is almost over and project partners would like to produce a gadget that could remind them the first time they met: a bottle opener which is the symbol of the project kick-off meeting in Finland. For this reason, they would like to have the sentence “Hölkyn Kölkyn”, together with the project’s logo, written on it.

OBJECT: “DREAM gadget design contest | your Name & Surname“
DEADLINE: 18th September 2019
Rules
OBJECT
A bottle opener
DESIGN
with the “design for additive” approach
DESIGN LIMITATIONS
Maximum production height of 100 mm
Manufacturing Process: Laser Beam Melting (LBM)
Material: INCONEL (625 & 718)
TARGET
consider the use of the minimum possible number of supports, in order to reduce costs of production
REQUIREMENTS
the DREAM logo (DOWNLOAD HERE) and the sentence “Hölkyn Kölkyn” must be written on the surface of the object
Evaluation Criteria
- Are the contest rules respected? (Yes/No)
- Can we produce this design in AM ? (Yes/No) A feasibility study by will be conducted by Poly-Shape
- Can we open a bottle with it? (Yes/No)
- Is the bottle-opener damaged after bottle opening (only for successful bottle opening)? (Yes/No)
- What is the estimated production time (for the feasible designs only)? (Evaluation from 1 to 5*)
- What is the part volume ? Poly-Shape will evaluate it through their CAD software (Evaluation from 1 to 5*)
- What is the part + supports volume? Poly-Shape will estimate it based on the production STL with a CAD tool (Evaluation from 1 to 5*)
*1=low | 5=high
In case of a tie (between more than one design), the consortium will be asked to vote the preferred work only from an aesthetic point of view – the work with the highest number of votes will win.
