What did you do last Saturday?  We kicked off the first of it’s kind, 3D Design and Prototyping challenge for motorcyclists, enthusiasts and pretty much anyone who can sketch their motorcycle ideas on paper.

BuildTak–a 3D printer build platform manufacturer and SFmototype Sponsor–made these beautiful custom 3D printing surfaces for our Type A Machines Series 1 Pros and Printrbot Simple Metals that are on display at SF Moto (275 8th Street, San Francisco, 10a-6pm)

Last Saturday, September 10th, we had the official kickoff of our first ever SFmototype Design and Prototyping challenge–where for 45 days, err, 40 days now–people have the opportunity to sketch out on paper, napkin, envelope, whatever…a concept related to motorcycles and submit it to our SFmototype competition.  If their concept considered to be the best by a panel of expert judges, they can win a number of prizes:

1. A motorcycle
2. 3D printers
3. CAD training
4. Shop Training
5. and much much more…

We had an amazing set of panelists on Saturday.  In the morning session, we explored the “Past, Present and Future of 3D Printing” with several experts.

From left to right: Sachlene Singh from Autodesk, Prof. Ron Rael from U.C. Berkeley and Prinrbot Founder and CEO Brook Drumm.  The panel was moderated by Chris McCoy–the co-founder and CEO of You3Dit.  Learn more about our morning panelists at SFmototype.com.

In the afternoon session, “Motorcycles meet 3D Printing”,  we talked about how 3D printing is impacting the motorcycle industry:
