IDMC2024

International Digital Modeling Contest (IDMC2024)

International Digital Modeling Contest 2024 (IDMC2024) 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).

 

In this contest, we are calling for submissions that consist of output works produced by the 3D printers using 3D data created from original ideas through digital modeling, and include the verification of this entire process.

 

Details will be announced on the current web page.

 

This contest will be held in conjunction with the 21st International Conference on Geometry and Graphics (ICGG 2024), which is primarily sponsored by the Japan Society for Graphic Science.

 

For the past 17 years, the Japan Society for Graphic Science has been holding the Digital Modeling Contest in Japan. Based on the experience accumulated through these contests, this time the society has expanded the areas eligible for entering works and is inviting entries from abroad.

7-1 Entry details

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.

Please send the information from (1) to (7) to the designated e-mail address.

7-2 Submission Materials Required for Judging

After entry, please send the from (1) to (3)
*The posting method will be announced later.

(1) two-page description
You are required to submit a two-page description of your work using the template specified.
*The work descriptions will be printed out by the organizer and posted at the exhibition site. In addition, a collection of works in PDF format will be made available on the web page.

Guidelines for Writing Commentaries
WORD filePDF file
The following elements should be included in the manuscript of the work description.

(2) 3D data of the work (STL format)

(3) Presentation video data(about 3 minutes)
*Please submit a video presentation showing your work from many different angles.

Purpose of the contest

The Digital Modeling (Digital Content) Contest positions creation as an academic activity and will be held while maintaining the contest format. One of the goals of the contest is to explain in an easy-to-understand manner the process from the purpose of creating the work to the model production, with an emphasis on necessity and preservation of the process. To make effective use of 3D modeling machines, it is important to have content that can be used for 3D modeling, such as educational works and resource works.
