Fujita Scale: 3D Design Challenge

myminifactory

The Fujita Scale 3D Design Challenge Aims To Create Detailed Tornado Damage Models. The challenge requires creating a series of 3D printable models that accurately depict the categories of tornado damage from F0 to F5, as defined by the Fujita scale. For more information on this topic, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fujita_scale. Judges Will Evaluate Entries Based On Three Key Criteria: Accuracy: Do The Models Accurately Represent The Fujita Scale Categories? Would Most Meteorologists Or Engineers Agree With The Classifications? Realism: Do The Models Show Realistic Man-Made Structures And Vegetation? Printability: Can The Models Be Printed On Most Consumer FDM Printers? A Bonus Category Will Also Be Awarded To Designers Who Share Their Design Process, Tornado Information, Or Other Relevant Details. The Winner Will Receive A 3D Design Champion Card. Physical Cards Will Be Mailed Within The United States, While International Winners Will Receive Digital Versions. Entries Must Be Received Before April 30, 2014, And Linked As A Remix Of This Thing To Be Considered.
