Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Events

Student with printed aircraft at the printed aircraft competition.

3D Printed Aircraft Competition

Unfortunately, given the many uncertainties and complications, the fly-off event for the 4th Annual 3D Printed Aircraft competition that was scheduled for July 11 is canceled. The design competition for the Altair Most Innovative Design Awards, which are awarded based on design reports, will still continue. An email with the details was sent to all registered participants. The 3D Printed Aircraft Competition will return in 2021!
