Can you please list what prizes are only available to people in the US please?

- What is the most interesting thing you have seen done with a 3D printer or 3D printing technology?

I am amazed by the creation of prosthetics for people who are missing limbs.

- If you could build your dream 3D printer, what would it include and what would it do? Let your imagination run wild!

I think a printer large enough to create light weight housing in less than a day could be useful for areas ravaged by a disaster. Better yet, what if a shelter could be constructed that was strong enough to resist the effects of a tornado or hurricane? That would be amazing!

Just wondering about the same

Can you please list what prizes are only available to people in the US please?

Yes, I Ask myself the same question !

Question 1: there has been so many awesome things created by 3d printers, for parents making toys for the kids, to role praying models, even to hats and shoes, to making a working model of an idea you have for anything to show a board room meetings to get funding to create that product on a mass scale. So how could I even think of what what is the most interesting thing when it all is because someone had thought of it to make it and to them it was special.

Question2: if I could have any kind of 3D printer, I would have to say one that is easy to learn to use it and can be easily taught to children since they have a more active imagination than most adults and it would be wonderful to see what they would come up with that the future might need when they are taught 3d technology at young age.

Question 1: Use 3D printers to create safe, inexpensive, fuel-efficient modes of transportation, both for individuals and for mass transit.

Questions 2: For individual use, high technology materials that are nontoxic.

- What is the most interesting thing you have seen done with a 3D printer or 3D printing technology?

Well, other than the small model of the Battle School I had printed to my designs on a Z-Corp printer, and the MC Escher "Cube" (labyrinth) that a friuend printed up, running to the maximum dimensions possible on that Z-Corp printer, I would have to say prosthetics. Especially that aretifial hand that's been making the rounds on the news media these days!

- If you could build your dream 3D printer, what would it include and what would it do? Let your imagination run wild!

If a 3D printer could print something on the order of a MOTOR, I'd say we were almost there.

If it could print in a range of materials, including 50 ksi or better steels, I'd be pretty impressed!

I'm sure at some point in the future, there will be 3D printer needles (stylii) that will be able to precipitate out ANY material you wanted...ah, to dream!

Question 1: I think the use for improving and providing human organs ., and lightweight custom prosthetic is the greatest advancement.
Question2: Create micro-machines that could be used to fight cancer. I also think micro-machines that floated inside a closed system that could repair any wear and injury to the system would be a achievement. This could include the human body, modes of transportation, and building functions.

Just wondering how are you counting for each profile? Do we need to inform and provide evidence for out entries ?
