Designtech has
launched the
Additive Design Contest
In collaboration with Roboze, Designtech has launched the contest for the prototyping of artistic and design projects within CoFactory.
Designers and artists had the opportunity to approach the world of additive manufacturing by applying with their own project (in the areas of lighting, product customization, modular design or artistic creation) that will be exhibited during Milan Design Week 2024.
