ROCK HILL, S.C., Aug. 7, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 3D Systems

contest. The Cubify Challenge begins today and runs through September

panel of 3D judges that will select the best of the best. The

printed in 3D and recognized on cubify.com, and its creator will get a
Cube 3D printer and a copy of Cubify Invent, 3D design software
optimized for 3D printing. Three runner-ups will also receive a copy of
Cubify Invent and will be highlighted on cubify.com.

Submissions will be judged by two world renowned designers: Janne
Kyttanen, whose work has been featured in the Museum of Modern Art, and
Scott Summit, whose work has won numerous international design awards
such as IDSA, IDEA, and Core77.
