Design By Capture Competition!

In this awesome two stage competition, MyMiniFactory, Autodesk ReMake, and Autodesk Fusion 360 want you to showcase just how powerful reality capture by photogrammetry can be.

What’s the #DesignByCapture competition? Simple. Take an object that you use for your favorite hobby or sport and, using 3D capture and Autodesk ReMake and Fusion, customize it to best suit your needs.

CAPTURE + DESIGN

You could create a custom mount for your camera or a pedal for your bike. Maybe you are a DJ or Gamer looking to customize your headphones. The sky is the limit!

In Stage 1 of the Design By Capture competition, you’ll capture your object and process it using Autodesk ReMake (download a free version here). In Stage 2, you’ll use Autodesk Fusion 360 to modify the design and optimize it for 3D printing (download a free version here). Finally, submit your entry on the MyMiniFactory website for a chance to win!

PRIZES

Yes, there are prizes! The overall winner of the Design By Capture competition will receive a new HTC Vive headset. The winner of Stage 1 of the competition gets an Oculus Rift. There will be a final giveaway of an Autodesk ReMake and Fusion swag bag that is open to all participants.

The competition jury is made up of experts on Fusion, ReMake, and 3D printing. Entries will be judged on the originality of the concept, its functionality, the quality of entry execution, and design-specific criteria such as weight and design life cycle thinking.
