CAD software developer ZWSOFT, in partnership with 3D printing company Beijing TierTime Technology and 3D mouse maker Connexion, has issued a design challenge via open engineering platform GrabCAD.

The brief calls for the design of a “dream superhero vehicle”. As part of the competition, ZWSOFT is providing a free trial license of its software for every participant; the CAD package can be download here.

All entries must be designed solely with ZW3D, with participants not being allowed to import a 3D model that was created with another software and saved as a Z3 file.

Entrants must submit a .z3 file, rendering, and a STEP or IGES files of the their design. Designers are also encouraged to use the “Hybrid Modeling” function of ZW3D when creating their vehicles.

The challenge ends on October 27 and winners will be announced on November 27. As well as cash sums, prizes include Tiertime Up! 3D printers and Connexion 3D mice.
