Design & Engineering Skills Competition

How It Works

The Design & Engineering Skills Competition celebrates the remarkable skills and ingenuity of the Microvellum community. In honor of Microvellum's 30th anniversary, we’re shining a spotlight on the talented designers, drafters, and engineers who use our software to bring extraordinary ideas to life. Showcase your creativity and expertise by entering for a chance to earn community recognition and awards throughout 2025.

Submission Process:

Visit the Microvellum Portal to open a new case. Select "Competition Entry" as the case type, provide a detailed description of your entry, attach your project files, agree to the competition terms, and submit the case.

When submitting your entry, keep the following in mind:

Project Overview: What is the project or product you are submitting?

Unique Features: What makes your design stand out? For example, have you implemented prompts for advanced customization?

Library Integration: Is this a one-off design, or is it part of your product library?

Impact: How has including this product in your library benefited your company?

Multiple entries per person are allowed, but each must be submitted separately. Only one entry per person may qualify for the top 10 list.


Tips for Standing Out

  • Include all necessary files for testing the functionality of your product or project—such as project files, processing station data, and drawings.

  • Submissions with 2D drawings in addition to 3D models will stand out and better convey your product's functionality.

  • If your entry is a custom report, ensure it includes project data for testing.

  • If your product uses 3D solids from other applications, showcase the additional engineering work done to prepare it for manufacturing.


Judging & Winner Selection

  • Microvellum’s Product Engineering Team will evaluate all entries to determine the winner.

Awards:

  • Earn bragging rights for the quarter and a trophy!

  • Receive a $300 Amazon Gift Card.
