2021 3D印刷行业奖奖杯设计竞赛的荣誉提及
对于今年的奖杯设计竞赛的一百多个参赛作品以及全面的高标准参赛作品，选择获胜者对于这里的3D印刷行业和Protolabs的评委来说并不是一件容易的事。来自全球的设计师制作了出色的作品，展示了3D打印的独特功能。
因此，有几种设计值得一提的是，他们完成了简介。
NB: The Awards were scheduled to take place in 2020, hence the inclusion of that year in the designs.
受Protolabs的徽标和今年的3D印刷行业颁奖典礼的启发，立方体设计经过Benjamin Cann在复杂的作品中展示了MJF和SLA技术的功能。在Cann的“有机和混乱”设计中，透明的Voronoi立方结构将几个面板结合在一起，并提供了各种设计，这些设计说明了3D打印应用程序的当前字段。
流动性是Maxime Lharidon’s破坏极限设计，，，，which aims to embody the “endless possibilities for endless applications” of 3D printing today. Inspired by generative design, the trophy’s frame appears to have exploded and melted within the body to become an indivisible part of a whole, that is fluidized into a “new and unexpected organic shape.”
Arthur Grygoryan’sPrisma design灵感来自“离散和连续”思维模式，并旨在封装SLS和SLA 3D打印的功能。透明的棱镜将眼睛吸引到奖杯的内部交织晶格结构和细节中，该结构和细节安装在晶格结构的基础上。
However, there can only be one winner. And for the 2021 3D Printing Industry Awards the winner of the trophy design competition is James Novak.
这winner of the design competition received a 3D printer from manufacturer Craftbot. “It is always a pleasure to participate and support competitions which encourage the creativity of the users in the 3D printing industry,” said Csaba Mákos, CEO of Craftbot.
An interview with the 2021 winner, James Novak
3D printing research fellow, designer and maker James Novak submitted thewinning trophy design这将分发给今年奖项的获奖者，这些奖项由我们的读者投票。
With a career in 3D printing spanning more than a decade, Novak is involved in many aspects of the additive manufacturing industry. As a designer, he has carried out a plethora of 3D printing projects documented on his blog,涡流，，，，and has also conducted swathes of research into various fields of additive manufacturing as both an academic and an educator.
Protolabs are currently 3D printing Novak’s winning design, and when the winners of the 2021 3D Printing Industry Awards are announced on 21st October, each winner will receive a trophy. Novak has also received aCraftBot Flow IDEX XL3D打印机的价值$ 3,999。
3D印刷行业向诺瓦克（Novak）的获胜设计表示祝贺，向他询问了有关设计过程以及他参与3D打印的一些问题。
How long have you been a designer, and how did you start designing for 3D printing?
I’ve probably been a designer most of my life, and grew up being quite creative and interested in making things. When I finished high school I went straight to university to study architecture, and began working in this field. I quickly became interested in some of the custom furniture items and interior details we were designing for our projects, and decided that the long process of designing and seeing a building completed didn’t suit my short attention span! So I went back to university to study Industrial Design, and in 2009 had my first opportunity to 3D print a prototype product.
Back then,格里菲斯大学had one 3D printer (I think it was an early Fortus machine) and it was hidden away at a distant campus, with only one academic seeming to know its mysteries. By 2010 I was usingShapeways要为Uni打印许多原型，一旦我开始从事行业工作，我将第一台桌面3D打印机（原始UP Mini）带到了我们的工作室，以使我们能够制作原型。
对我来说，使用3D打印机似乎完全正常。但是，在2014年，我被邀请回格里菲斯大学（Griffith University）来帮助一些教学 - 现在有一个桌面3D打印机的整个实验室，可供学生使用！短短几年内的变化感到惊讶，经过一些研究，感觉就像3D打印变得比有趣的原型制作工具更大。因此，我辞去了工作，并获得了荣誉研究学位，以深入研究3D打印，并从那以后将所有注意力集中在设计和3D打印上。
Can you outline your academic research within 3D printing?
My academic career has taken a number of turns, but 3D printing has been at the core of what I do for many years. Since winning the 3D Printing Industry Awards Trophy Design competition, I have now become the Senior Research Fellow in CranioFacial applications of 3D printing, based within theHerston Biofabrication Institute。这是位于澳大利亚昆士兰州最大的医院和保健服务中的独特的3D印刷研究和制造工厂。
我的程序结合了3D打印的上颌面和神经外科应用的应用，从使用3D印刷解剖模型进行手术前计划，到对植入物的可闻吸收金属和聚合物的调查，以及对教育模型的开发少年神经外科医生。在过去的十多年中，将我学到的有关3D打印的所有内容都是一个梦想的机会，并利用它来改善患者的医疗保健。
Prior to this, I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the School of Engineering atDeakin University，，，，and a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the School of Design at theUniversity of Technology Sydney。这给了我许多不同的机会，包括研究在COVID-19大流行期间使用3D打印，，，，3D印刷家具，，，，3D打印建筑农场，，，，教育中的3D印刷，，，，and many more you can find through my学术出版物清单。
您可以分享3D印刷生涯中的一些亮点吗？
毫无疑问的一个主要突出了从我career was designing and 3D printing the世界上第一个全尺寸自行车车架，这是在2014年完成的。这似乎确实吸引了人们的想象力，而今天，在七年之后，今天还得到了展览和新闻报道的要求。我很幸运能够用这辆自行车环游世界，并且赢得了像Dick Aubin Distinguished Paper Award at RAPID in 2015，并在像Red Dot Design Museum在德国，以及我的一些3D打印偶像的设计。我仍然为此捏自己。
Some of the other highlights are less visible, but come through the designs I share on myblog以及通过3D打印文件共享网站Thingiverse。Occasionally someone I’ve never met will get in touch to say that a design I’ve shared has really helped them out, or that they’ve been inspired by my work and want to know how to get more seriously into design or 3D printing. It makes me feel a bit old, but I love sharing my experiences and helping the next generation of designers learn about the opportunities available to them. These sorts of experiences are often much more rewarding than the big academic achievements.
What can you tell us about your winning trophy design and the concept behind it?
My ideas for the trophy were really inspired bythe brief: to be 3D printed in 2 different materials and processes (MJF and SLA) and feature lattice structures and internal details. To me, this had a bit of a yin and yang feel to it, with MJF parts being dark grey or black, and SLA being translucent. So I built on this, creating a sculptural form that was then split into 2 pieces, with the lower MJF part featuring an external lattice structure like an exoskeleton, and the clear SLA part featuring internal lattice structures that could be seen but not touched.
我真的很想推动这两个零件的复杂性，并确保它们是为增材制造而设计的，无法采取任何其他方式。我还希望这两个部分之间的连接都很有趣且复杂，因此我使用3D打印行业奖徽标通过SLA部分连接下MJF部分，并在顶部暴露。对我来说，这是一个拥有一些创造性自由的机会，并推动一些我通常在研究工作中无法做的软件工具。
您对CraftBot Flow IDEX XL有何看法？到目前为止，您使用打印机进行了哪些项目？
不幸的是（或幸运的是）赢得了这场比赛后不久，我也在Herston Biofrication Institute找到了工作。这涉及我和我的家人的巨大州际行动，工艺品直接进入了一个存储容器。我们只是在新房子里定居并卸下了容器，所以我很高兴能终于打开打印机并将其运行！
What 3D printing projects do you have planned for the future?
Most of my 3D printing in the foreseeable future is related to medical devices and models. I’ve recently been printing some samples with theStratasys J750 Digital Anatomy printerto give to our neurosurgeons to test the haptic qualities of different materials to represent skin, skull, brain etc, and our goal is to be 3D printing hyper-realistic models to be used to educate junior neurosurgeons over the coming years. I’m also excited about 3D printing artificial eyes, and a few top-secret projects that I hope people will hear about (and benefit from) very soon!
In my spare time, I’m also looking forward to 3D printing some new lights for my house – I’d just finished3D printing every light在我的最后一个房子里，在收拾行动之前，在较大的工艺机器人的构建体积中提出一些新的较大的设计将很有趣。
