Asian Digital Modeling Contest 2017

The Asian Digital Modeling Contest 2017(ADMC2017) will be held in conjunction with the 11th Asian Forum on Graphic Science (AFGS2017) which is primarily sponsored by the Japan Society for Graphic Science. ADMC2017 is presently inviting original 3D models which can be built using 3D printers.

The contest aims to spread fundamental technologies for inspiring the creation of three-dimensional mechanisms and objects in new innovative environments led by additive manufacturing (3D printers). Over the past 10 years, the Japan Society for Graphic Science has been holding the Digital Modeling Contest in Japan. Based on its experience accumulated through these contests, this time the society has expanded the areas eligible for entering works and is inviting entries from abroad.

Entries selected for the final round will be asked to make a presentation on their work and participate in the poster exhibition in the final judgment of ADMC2017 held during AFGS2017. Travel expenses will be provided to entries qualifying for the final judgment.

Events:

August 7, 2017 17:30-18:40, ADMC Short Talk, Hall A (Free event: Participation is free!)
August 8, 2017 17:30-18:40, ADMC Gallery Talk, Exhibition Hall (Free event: Participation is free!)
August 10, 2017 Awards ceremony, Hall A

Subsidies

• Some of the travel expenses/transportation fees, etc. will be subsidized depending on the region of the applicant.
  
  • Outside Japan : Upper limit is 100,000 yen.
  • Inside Japan : Upper limit is 50,000 yen.
• Outstanding entries are awarded prizes by the Japan Society for Graphic Science (prize shield, modeling model used for entry judgment).

Invited entries

All genres, any theme.

3D printers are used widely, from making machines to architecture, molding designs, everyday goods, toys, characters, and so on. The 3D data used is made by methods which continue to progress based on innovative concepts and technologies such as creating modeling data by measuring target objects using 3D scanning devices, large-scale shape data processing, etc.

In the areas of robot engineering and medical engineering for example, 3D printers are used to build 3D models for resolving various problems.

We welcome entries from areas developing such novel applied technologies, 3D shapes made by additive manufacturing, 3D models built using original and innovative 3D shape production methods, etc. For details of digital modeling contests held by Japan Society for Graphic Science in the past, please click here.

Judging criteria

Entries are judged on the following criteria comprehensively.

Modeling ability

• Ability to build 3D data and models taking into account ideas and method of building the model.

Structures and mechanisms possible with 3D printers

• Complicated mechanisms which could not be built easily with cutting techniques and casting until now.
• Materialization of geometrical figures

New applied fields

• Use of 3D data for new fields for resolving various tasks

Eligibility

Individuals and groups consisting of several persons

Submission

Fill in the necessary items in the application form, and upload the required documents A), B), and C) to the entry system EasyChair

• A) Description of entry
• B) Entry data (STL format, XVL* format, magics** format)
• C) Pledge Agreement

• Please make sure all required documents are submitted and there is no missing or omitted information when submitting your entry.
• Those using EasyChair for the first time must register a new account. If you already have an EasyChair account, you can use that.

A) Description of entry

Please refer to the instructions on describing entries and describe all the necessary particulars (MS Word, PDF).

• Description of entries that have passed judgment will be used in the ADMC2017 Poster Exhibition and for the booklet describing entries.

B) Entry data

Files must be submitted in the STL format.

• For specifications on entry data production, please refer to "Instructions on preparing ADMC2017 entry data". In the specifications, the maximum dimensions of 3D models are specified, but if applicants are prepared to output models and bring in/out of the venue themselves if their entries pass the judgment and are to be exhibited in the hall, there is no limit to the maximum dimensions.

• If the STL file size exceeds the upper limit of the upload by EasyChair, convert the STL data to XVL* format or magics** format to compress the data and then upload to EasyChair.

STL data compression method

• Please install software used for compressing STL data at your own responsibility.

*XVL format

Software supplied by Lattice Technology Co., Ltd.
