Announcing the Leonardo da Vinci 3D Design Challenge from the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab

Students. Educators.  Are you looking for a great challenge?

Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE Lab invites you to show case your 3D skills and give life to the drawings of Leonardo Da Vinci chosen from his original codices.

For this challenge, Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE Lab will be partnering with Academy Award nominated writer and Pixar story veteran, Jim Capobianco.  One of the five challenge winners will have the chance to be featured in Jim’s new film The Inventor, a film about Leonardo da Vinci. In addition, winners will receive a 3D print of their design and access to our latest cloud apps in the 3D Creator Role.  Which in turn give you access to the SOLIDWORKS xDesign App, for one year at no cost.

How to Participate

  1. Visit the Open Codex Community
  2. Click on ‘Become an author’ button on the right of the screen
  3. Select the blue-highlighted Post on the top of the page titled ‘ANNOUNCING LEONARDO DA VINCI 3D DESIGN CHALLENGE’ and read all details of the Challenge
  4. Choose any ONE codex out of the 10 codices listed and design it in 3D using any of your favorite Dassault Systèmes’ app(s): SOLIDWORKS, CATIA, or the 3D Creator Role featuring SOLIDWORKS xDesign App.

In case you don’t have access to any of these apps, we can give you access to the 3D Creator Role featuring the xDesign App for a limited period, but you have to request for access ASAP while the limited stock of licenses lasts. So, Hurry Up and let us know if you need access to xDesign.
