Are you an animator or 3D modeler interested in trying out 3D printing? You have until October 15th to join our 3D animation to 3D print contest for the chance to win your original figurine printed by Shapeways, Shapeways printing credit and a chance to featured on Mold 3D’s website.
Today we’re really excited to announce that Mold3D has joined the 3D Modeling and Animation Group on Facebook as a co-sponsor for the contest. Mold3D.com is a 3D Printing website that focuses on producing quality content and resources for artists that was launched in January 2014 by animation industry veterans Edward Quintero and Robert Vignone. Edward has over a decade of experience as a designer, 3D artist and entrepreneur, including as a co-founder of design firm Massive Black, and as a senior artist at Industrial Light and Magic and Dreamworks Animation. Robert Vignone is a 3D print artist and teacher, and has worked at studios such as Weta Digital, Disney Feature Animation and Sony Cinematics. At Shapeways we love what Mold3D is working on because they provide a place for 3D modelers, sculptors, designers and 3D Print enthusiasts to come together to learn, share, promote their work and inspire each other.

Edward and Robert told me they were inspired to start the site because, while there were plenty of 3D Printing news sites around at the time, they felt there was a need for a 3D Printing community strictly dedicated to artists working in the entertainment industry. Since their launch Mold 3D has produced 3D printing workshops and build a community of 3D printing enthusiasts.
For the 3D animation to 3D print contest as co-sponsors Robert and Edward will be participating as judges, and the winner of the contest will also be featured on Mold3D.com. Get all of the contest details here. We can’t wait to see what you come up with!
