3D + Designing + Printing = 3DP = a 3D Printed Pin for IDSA.
Unleash your creativity to come up with a 3D Printable IDSA Lapel Pin. In support of the theme for this year's
Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA) 2014 Northeast District Design Conference, "Design it, Build it, Fund it," IDSA is collaborating with MakerBot, GrabCAD and NRI to launch IDSA’s Designed to Print Pin Challenge.
IDSA’s 2014 Northeast District Design Conference: Design it, Build it, Fund it
Using the IDSA logo as your guide and the ability for the pin to be 3D Printed as your constraint, come up with a 3D design of the lapel pin no larger than 3inches in diameter.
Think about the how the 3D printability of the end result will support the design, how the printing process could even support the snapping or attaching onto a lapel. Leverage the 3D printing capabilities to balance form and function. Use this challenge as an outlet for you and your design team to reimagine how additive manufacturing can allow you to make something today that could not be built before. Then submit your pin to the Challenge in STL format with a 3D CAD file of your choice.
MakerBot will award a new MakerBot Replicator Desktop 3D Printer for the best design. TOP 15 places get their design 3D printed and Hardi Meybaum's book. How cool is that?

If to be used with a lapel pin, what are the dimensions for that pin?
David Pedersen about 11 years ago
What are the lapel pin/s going to be used for?
(Handed out to everyone or to demonstrate 3D printing)
Which printer is going to print them?
Jonathan Brazeau about 11 years ago
Nice reward, I was wondering when MakerBot was going to get in the picture! ). Another good one.
Bryan Morris about 11 years ago
Hey David, I believe the dimensions say no larger than 3 inches in diameter.
David Pedersen about 11 years ago
@Bryan thats the item we are designing that should be not more than 3 inches...
I'm thinking about the metal pin you stick thru the lapel and get locked on the other side...
Bryan Morris about 11 years ago
Oh I'm sorry I see what you're saying now
andres about 11 years ago

Abhishek Choudhury about 11 years ago
Another cool challenge!! :)
Michael Hellessey about 11 years ago
Anyone know the font used in the IDSA logo?
Konrad Jakubiak about 11 years ago
you have got an error in equation: 3D + Designing + Printing = 3DDP. Your welcome:)
A0I0A about 11 years ago
Nice challenge. Would like to have a 3d printer. But, about the challenge requirements, how do we build textures into the model?
James about 11 years ago
Yeah, you guys need to specify how the entry will be printed and in what material. If sterling silver is going to be a material, then will it be patinated? We need to know this kind of information before starting on a design so that we can know what wall thicknesses and clearances that we need to constrain ourselves to so the design can actually be printed.
Tibor about 11 years ago
I think that will have more than 500 entries here, anybody want to bet hahaha B)
Robert Steiner about 11 years ago
@ James - the entry will be printed on a MakerBot Replicator (5th Gen) in PLA material. The design could be split into components or inserts - and we do have multiple colors of filament.
Robert Steiner about 11 years ago
@ Adeleke Ilias - if you are interested in seeing the capabilities of surface texture - try browsing Thingiverse.com - which has a variety of models. We've done smooth, flames, organic (objects with holes and curves) along with things like bricks, chain links, etc. One thing to consider is 'overhangs' which need to be supported or that may not carry the details that well.
David Pedersen about 11 years ago
@robert take a look at the 2 first comments?
David Pedersen about 11 years ago
And now that the lapel pin are printed on a MakerBot Replicator, i guess that it's going to be a 1 color lapel pin?
Arthur Young-Spivey about 11 years ago
@James: the material used for full color/texture based printing is a powder based one. There's a description above for the general workflow for creating models for this process which differs from just a standard one color print.
If you have program specific questions let us know and we can help with that.
Robert Steiner about 11 years ago
@David Pedersen It is possible to print different colors in layers. So you could have a base color and then switch to an alternate color for the fonts (assuming they are extruded up from the base). Our firmware has a 'Pause' feature and you can switch filament.
I think the actual size requirements are posted under Design guidelines.
The IDSA team will display the winning designs and may distribute a limited number of prints at the conference.
Kris G about 11 years ago
Pretty cool challenge.
I have some questions though.
1) What is the logo font.
2) Minimum wall thickness for 3D printing.
3) Minimum detail features for 3D printing, for example embossed or engraved details or holes.
Thank you in advance.
Pouriya about 11 years ago
Is it in a limitation of 3 inches cube?
Altamiro Allebrandt Jr about 11 years ago
Just a question, if someone from another country wins and cant go to the conference, can He transfer the pass to another GrabCad user? And can you send the printer WorldWide? Thanks.
Abhishek Choudhury about 11 years ago
i hav a query... can i add decal to the design??plz help
Frederik Vollbrecht about 11 years ago
https://grabcad.com/library/idsa-logo-1
Robert Steiner about 11 years ago
@ Christos Georgoulas - See recent post by Frederik for font link.
Here is link to our Torture Test print: http://www.makerbot.com/blog/2013/03/25/testing-makerbot-print-quality-makerware/
For a Makerbot Desktop 3D printer - Min wall thickness is usually ok at 1-2 mm. That gives it some rigidity. Fonts do better (in my opinion) extruded up from a base with no detail smaller than 1mm. Holes are usually no problem. Alot depends on the orientation of features though.
Kris G about 11 years ago
Great! Thank you for your answer.
Arthur Young-Spivey about 11 years ago
@Christos: With regards to min wall and min details, there no real hard and fast rule about these in large part due to the type of geometry that's generated. That said here are some suggestions:
- Min wall thickness - 0.04in (1mm)
- Min detail feature - 0.02in (.5mm)
Robert Steiner about 11 years ago
@ abhishek - We are really trying to push everyone into thinking about what's possible with 3D design/printing. I wouldn't say 'no' to decals but it would depend on how much of the design is decal vs. actual shape.
Robert Steiner about 11 years ago
@Pouriya - 3" diameter and no more than 5.9" tall.
Pouriya about 11 years ago
Thanks Robert
Matt Lothe about 11 years ago
A MakerBot Replicator 3D printer sounds great and all... but what if we don't have a program to use it with? I made my entry with the Solidworks at my college, and even if I had the money to purchase a home copy, my computer doesn't have the right system requirements to run it properly.
David Pedersen about 11 years ago
@matt you can use any 3D software which can can produce an STL file.
Google Sketchup eg.
Arthur Young-Spivey about 11 years ago
@abhishek: If you apply a texture onto your model I will print as that. The method on how to do this is bit more software specific. It's also possible to use textures as displacement so that you'd the added bonus of feeling the texture.
David Pedersen about 11 years ago
Are this pin also to be used as an "showoff/advertisement" for makerbot?
Matt Lothe about 11 years ago
Another question: How thick are the layers on this printer? The one at my school prints in layers of 10 thousandths, but I know not every printer's the same.
Robert Steiner about 11 years ago
@ David Pedersen - It could be used as a display piece in our office. Last contest we ran with GC - we have winning models in our lobby.
Robert Steiner about 11 years ago
@Matt Lothe - down to 100 microns - which is just about as thick as one sheet of paper. Depending on the shape of the object - it can be very smooth.
Arthur Young-Spivey about 11 years ago
@Matt Lothe - The full color models get down to 0.004". Though keep in mind the different above mentioned details with regards to min wall thickness/resolution..etc.
Matt Lothe about 11 years ago
Okay, thank you. :)
Matt Lothe about 11 years ago
Entry update with a clip and a rear-view render.
Abhishek Choudhury about 11 years ago
is it possible to 3d print a translucent object??
Arthur Young-Spivey about 11 years ago
@abhishek. For this contest making translucent will not be an option. Also you it's not required that you post a comment every time you post a new model.
Guilherme Parolin about 11 years ago
What are the evaluation criteria?
Sara Sigel about 11 years ago
@Guilherme Check out the Challenge description and Requirements section for details.
Guilherme Parolin about 11 years ago
@Sara Thank you
Thomas Orr about 11 years ago
Just to be clear is the design to be printed with a makerbot printer or with a powder based printer?
Thomas Orr about 11 years ago
Seeing as the IDSA logo cannot be changed would the registered trademark symbol need to be included?
Robert Steiner about 11 years ago
@ Tommy Orr - we are offering a MakerBot 5th Generation as a prize. The design could be printed on a powder based or Makerbot - depends on the shape, style, etc. My comments/feedback are all MakerBot based....
Robert Steiner about 11 years ago
@ Guilherme Parolin - the Requirements have the basic things we will be looking for. Other criteria: IDSA logo and placement, innovative/creative design, is it 3D printable, cool factor. :)
Kamyar about 11 years ago
Accepted color/texture formats:
- VRML
- 3DS
- FBX
- ZPR
Perhaps you are talking to wrong audience. These are not recognized by any MCAD (Mechanical engineering CAD) software or even the ever forgiving Keyshot.
wasif about 11 years ago
@ Kamyar It is a normal extension to export material so no one cut his hair with Saw because he do not have hair Scissors but he can buy one to cut his hair so if you do not have program to export it you can buy it or suggests another way to export it
Tommy Mueller about 11 years ago
.just to clarify... Solidworks produces VRML files Kamyar, so you can scratch that one off the list. Furthermore, with so many engineers here on GrabCAD, I'm positive that any CAD file can be converted; just ask the community! Anybody here would help, myself included.
For me, a Solidworks user, I use Rhino 3D to make conversions when I need to make a CAD file usable for 3DS, FBX, etc.
Abhishek Choudhury about 11 years ago
@ Tommy Mueller: +1, Solidwork does produce VRML file..
wasif about 11 years ago
@ Tommy Mueller You are right it is so easy I just surprised from @ Kamyar because it shows as it is a disaster so it is normal extension
Solonas Solomou about 11 years ago
Anyone know the font used in the IDSA logo?
Arthur Young-Spivey about 11 years ago
If you are working specifically with Solidworks then know the following:
- Apply colors to the "face" of the model at the Part level.
- Textures/Decals are not supported so you'll have to export the SW model and bring it into Rhino, Modo, C4D...etc if texturing/decals is something you are looking to do.

Thanks to everyone who participated! It's been a great process so far for the jury and we hope you all feel as inspired and excited as we do. The entries are all very inventive and have us all talking about 3D printing possibilities and design. We believe these entries are the best solutions for an IDSA 2014 Northeast Conference 3D Printable Lapel Pin. Next we will be printing the top 15 finalists after a 3D printing analysis and those will be looked at in-depth for design, 3D printing results, and creativity. Which one is your favorite? Did we leave anything amazing off the list? Let us know in the comments!
The Ultimaker almost 11 years ago
Congrats finalists and best of luck to you all.
teigan almost 11 years ago
it is interesting that half the entries show zero downloads, and yet the jury has selected finalists. you should all be insulted that they are too lazy to look at every entry in 3D. what is the point of having it a CAD competition if entries are rejected without ever examining the model?
The Ultimaker almost 11 years ago
Congrats to the finalists. I do find it weird how the challenge was to create a printable lapel, yet most of the comments are along the lines of " this would be hard to print on a makerbot " lol.
Thomas Orr almost 11 years ago
i have to agree with "The Ultimaker", will a design be placed among the 15 winners if it fails to print successfully?
Greg Thompson almost 11 years ago
agree with Ultimaker, the point of the challenge was to create a 3D print friendly, design, one of the designs even says, "Nice work and a cool design! It is over the top with metal and hinges that aren't 3D printing or assembly friendly." So why is it a finalist...
Pouriya almost 11 years ago
I think it is so weird because they are not sure about their choices !
From 10 minutes ago up to now the list repeatedly change!
Thomas Orr almost 11 years ago
I would agree with Greg, as much as 3d printing opens up new doors it also imposes many limitations. Staying within these limitations is as much a challenge as pursuing the new opportunities it provides, and without staying within the limitations the design ultimately fails.
The Ultimaker almost 11 years ago
Mine wasnt chosen as a finalist because of my name .. bhahaha... kidding Makerbot :P
#David almost 11 years ago
Thanks for accepting my transforming lapel design as a finalist but honestly my other design was all around much better. In terms of the theme and 3D printing capabilities. There is actually a 3D printed image of it within the slideshow. Also, I didn't think the renderings for the transforming lapel pin were to be taken as a literal directive to be used for the final device. I successfully 3D printed the transforming lapel pin on a makerbot in one print hinges and all. I did have to modify the design naturally to accommodate the makerbot's limitations, though. I do hope that was considered as to why it did make the list, since I also agree with Greg and others about why a device was picked as a finalist if you felt that they couldn't be printed successfully.
ANOUAR BARODI almost 11 years ago
Thanks jury!
Thanks IDSA, MakerBot, NRI! & GrabCAD!
Congrats to everyone who Participated!
Sara Sigel almost 11 years ago
A few explanations on the jury's process so far to help clarify our choices for finalists. I apologize for any confusion as I got the finalists ready to share - that is all due to the way I need to manually select entries and publish results. It's best to wait until I post the release in the comments, when things are confirmed.
.
- Designs were considered for multiple types of printers depending on which would be best suited to their design, we noted when it wouldn't be viable on a Makerbot to share some of our pre-testing assumptions with you all.
- Members have asked for more information on finalist selection so we openly shared what we like and what we're concerned about with each choice.
- Creativity was a big focus in the design brief along with 3D printability. Some of our choices were chosen for their creativity and we consider testing some of the more innovative, trickier to print designs part of the Challenge. We're excited to share how this goes with you.
Greg Thompson almost 11 years ago
Sorry but creativity is not part of the design brief at all, nor is pushing the limits of what can be printed. It instead says balance your design(form and function) to best leverage capability of 3d printing. Most of the cleaner and simpler designs weren't the extent of the designer's creativity but rather were intentionally left simple and small, knowing that high detail and undercuts are not easily manufactured in the small build platform of the printer.
I think its safe to assume the goal of this contest wasn't to see how far the makerbot software and hardware could be pushed, it was "hey we need a handout at our booth" and we can have them printing during the contest as give aways.
Thomas Orr almost 11 years ago
I would have to agree with Greg, and also point out that with the design prompt there were several specific necessities like that it must have neither the orientation nor form of the IDSA logo changed. To me and a large portion of those who submitted nice clean designs this meant that the orientation and form of the logo could not be changed at all, and imposed a limit on the creative license that could be taken. It would seem that based on some of the finalists that this was not a requirement and that instead some designs benefited from changing both the form and orientation, though i will refrain from listing examples. Further like Greg i think that many engineers got the impression that the challenge was to make a practically printable design which benefited from the unique opportunities of 3d printing and which avoided the unique challenges it provides, like a need for supports. From the finalists chosen it would seem that the goal was more to push 3d printing to its extreme limits, creating designs that may be better suited to production methods like injection molding and which present many challenges to 3d printing which would limit the quality of the final product. Just to be clear i do not intend to attack any specific designs, just point out a potential misalignment between what was requested and what was judged.
Edward Otter almost 11 years ago
Well done to all the finalists and all who participated. Thoroughly enjoyable.
zeedy almost 11 years ago
First congratulation to the winners and second from my opinion there were many designs out there more powerful than the chosen and i also agree with Greg Thompson points.

Current Result looks little unfair...
Many good designs were leftout... :(
The Ultimaker almost 11 years ago
The brief describes :
" the ability for the pin to be 3D Printed "
" no larger than 3inches in diameter. "
" 3D printability of the end result will support the design "
" balance form and function "
And here are examples of conflicting information from each of the comments :
" The pin would be a challenge to print on a Makerbot. The clasp is challenging."
" The IDSA logo would be tough to print. We recommend changing the logo to extrude for easier printing"
" would not print clean on a makerbot (support material would be needed). We recommend relocating the clip to make the "i" in IDSA at the top"
" We encourage scaling this to max out the dimensions "
" interesting but presents some printing challenges"
" difficulty printing multiple colors, parts and details."
" it'll require some clean-up, so we recommend larger print."
" Tough to print multiple colors and parts."
" The color insert and overhang would be hard to print. "
" We recommend relocating the clip " and " We aren't sure how to achieve the red dot "
" 3D printing will be a challenge "
" It would need to be cleaned up after printing and a larger scale. "
" We recommend changing the logo "
" It would be tough to print the "dots"
" We recommend changing the IDSA logo "
" but the gap under the overhang makes this a tricky one "
" It is over the top with metal and hinges that aren't 3D printing or assembly friendly. "
" difficulty printing in multiple pieces "
Seriously, if you wanted pretty pictures or something impossible to print, you should have said! This is not a rant about the chosen finalists, its more of a rant towards getting the brief correct!
Dan Porter almost 11 years ago
Congrats to all the finalists. Personally, I vote for Concetto Vecchio and Florent's designs. Although the Rotative Lapel Pin would be difficult to print with a single color print head, I really like the mechanism and the minimalism in appearance.
Thanks sponsors for a great challenge, and thanks community for new ideas for 3D printing. I'll unfortunately be unfollowing the challenge because my inbox can't handle the number of comments.
Parting comments:
Listing the resolution of the printer, number of materials allowed, and number of print heads would have been helpful in the challenge description.
Also, I agree with the community that printability seems to be a relaxed qualification for finalists. Like Ultimaker, I am in no way trying to criticize the finalist designs, but just say that the challenge requirements could be stated or enforced better next time around.
Thanks again for this fun community event. I had a blast participating.
Kiwano almost 11 years ago
