Since 2003, 3D Modeling Expert Contest is an annual contest for professional users of KOMPAS-3D and its ecosystem applications, including both independent contesters and corporate teams.
Launched as an event for highly skilled KOMPAS-3D users, the contest promotes STEM careers and facilitates the professional development of young engineers. It’s a great opportunity to showcase your KOMPAS-3D skills and receive independent feedback on your project from the software development team.
In 2024, the judges evaluated 131 projects from 75 companies using KOMPAS-3D. Thirty-one of them entered the 3D Modeling Expert Contest for the first time. Take a look at the winning projects of the 22nd 3D Modeling Expert Contest, an annual event for KOMPAS-3D professionals.
