Solid Concepts, the largest dedicated service provider of rapid prototyping in North America, is offering a unique design challenge to 3D printing experts and enthusiasts alike. The challenge requires participants to design a deck for a skateboard. Two lucky winners will receive their skateboard deck 3D printed for free. Challenge Parameters: Skateboard decks must be structurally sound, challenging to traditional deck designs and unique. Participants must be in the US, Canada or Europe. Skateboard decks must fit within certain design parameters: – Length cannot exceed 25.5” – Deck must be at least 0.475” thick Designs must be submitted to Solid Concepts no later than June 30th. The top five finalists will be uploaded to the Solid Concepts Facebook page, where they will be judged by a panel of their peers. The two designs with the highest amount of Facebook “Likes” will receive 3D printed versions of their skateboard decks, ready to ride. Solid Concepts will use their Selective Laser
