Overview

There are things in the universe that are out of our physical reach; they are either too small, too large, too far away, or hidden entirely from view. For the Untouchable Challenge, take inspiration from something that's normally untouchable, and make something touchable. All projects inspired by things-untouchable will be eligible.

Two grand prizes are provided by Ultimaker: one for the best 3D printing-related project, and one for the best non-3D printed project. Create something amazing and win!

For some ideas check out this collection of touchable objects inspired by untouchable things. And be sure to take our 3D Printing Class and 3D Scanning Class to brush up your 3D modeling skills. Be sure to give Autodesk Fusion a try; it is free forever for hobbyists and startups & students and educators.

The Untouchable Challenge is closed.
