The 3D Pioneers Challenge (3DPC), organized by d.sign21, has been going on at Rapid.Tech + FabCon 3.D. since 2015. It's open to students and young professionals who work in design or technical fields, and the automotive, medical, and research sectors, and targets designers who understand industry trends and are "breaking new ground in the field of 3D printing." The 3DPC challenge focuses on several different areas, including MedTech and FashionTech, Material, Design, and Event. This year, there were submissions from over 13 countries, and over the course of a multi-stage jury process, the winners were chosen during the event. The Thuringian Ministry for Economy, Science, and Digital Society donated a total of €15,000 to the winners, and designreport offered each winner subscriptions to its online magazine.
