We’ve always got an assortment of CAD design contests underway at Cad Crowd. It’s always quite a medley, from new product designs to architecture,\u00a0and there’s no telling what the next content might be. With thousands of designers in the Cad Crowd community, a design challenge always produces some interesting results. Here’s 5 contests that going on now!<\/p>\n

1. Mini Transparent OLED\/TV Picture Frame<\/a>\u00a0Product Design by Samadoni<\/h3>\n

\"mini<\/p>\n

The purpose of this techy design contest is to come up with a futuristic portable TV\/OLED picture frame type thing with a pretty spiffy transparent screen. The device is intended to serve three purposes: to function as an electronic picture frame that can be used to display the user’s own pictures, a transparent screen for use with apps, and as a screen to stream movies and TV shows on. Not long ago, this stuff would have been for Star-Trek only. And now here we are.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0Rhombicuboctahedron<\/a>\u00a03D Printing Design by\u00a0MAINAK MITRA<\/h3>\n

\"Rhombicubotctahedron\"<\/p>\n

The challenge here is to design a rhombicuboctahedron (that’s a real word<\/a>, preposterously). The buyer here is looking for an outer\u00a0rhombicuboctahedron with an inner\u00a0rhombicuboctahedron nested within, each one consisting of two pieces. All four pieces are meant to be 3D printed.<\/p>\n

3. Inlaying Metal in Wood<\/a>\u00a0CAD Drafting & Design by\u00a0Mahbub<\/h3>\n

\"inlaying<\/p>\n

The buyer in this one is looking for help producing some retro-futuristic looking lettering to be inlaid in wood. They’ve got the tools to do it, but need a bit of help producing the required CAD files. The idea is to cut out a negative for the wood, and a positive for the metal, and to then insert the latter into the former.<\/p>\n

4. Floating Seed Sprouter<\/a>\u00a0Product Design by\u00a0sldraftingdesign<\/h3>\n

\"seed<\/p>\n

This device is meant to float above a cup to provide an environment to sprout seeds. The sprouter is meant to be height-adjustable depending on the seed being sprouted, and to float while supporting up to 100g of weight. This pretty design is simple, colorful, and fun.<\/p>\n

5. ROBERT the Rehabilitation Robot<\/a>\u00a03D Modeling Design by Adam<\/h3>\n

\"robert<\/p>\n

Meet ROBERT! ROBERT is a rehabilitation robot designed to help people more efficiently recover and help care workers with some of the heavy lifting. The goal of this design challenge is to come up with a clean, robust design for ROBERT that captures the brand and has the right kind of medical look.<\/p>\n
