Designing the Next Objects for Additive Manufacturing

The Call for Ideas has now concluded, and we are pleased to present the four winning projects selected for their originality, design quality, and innovative use of additive manufacturing technologies.

Over the past month, designers, architects, engineers, students, makers, and innovators were invited to imagine products conceived specifically for 3D printing, exploring new possibilities in sustainability, customization, advanced geometries, material efficiency, and distributed production.

The four selected concepts will be transformed into physical prototypes during PLAST 2026, from June 9–12, within the 3D Plast Lab, using some of the most advanced 3D printing technologies, materials, and manufacturing systems available today.

The winning teams will also have the opportunity to present their projects to the public in two dedicated moments:

June 9, 2026, at 10:00 AM – Opening Session of 3D Plast Lab (in person or remotely)
June 12, 2026, at 3:45 PM – Final Event, featuring an in-depth presentation of the projects, design process, and prototyping results
From idea to prototype, these projects demonstrate how additive manufacturing is shaping the next generation of products, processes, and design cultures.
