FAQ
re:3D will cover all duties and taxes!
Once the winner is announced, re:3D will confirm voltage requirements and begin building the printer for shipment in October 2023. If the winner prefers to purchase additional accessories and/or apply the credit for the sales price of Gigabot 4 to another printer in re:3D’s portfolio, re:3D sales and operations team will work the logistics accordingly.
Judging will take place over the first two weeks of July. To remain impartial, re:3D will bring in external judges with varying backgrounds and experiences to judge the competition. The judges will judge your entry based on 3 components: Originality and Impact, Feasibility & Drive and Dedication.
The winner will then be announced by Friday, July 21st, after judging scoring has been tabulated.
10% of the total judging score is based on the number of likes received on the submission video located on the Gigaprize playlist of re:3D’s YouTube Channel. Applicants are encouraged to share the link to their video and to submit early to maximize the opportunity to collect the most votes!
