"We usually ink-print 2D renderings of the students' designs to display in the hallway, but when we had the plastic 3D-printed models, they made a stronger impact," Rich says. "Being able to see a physical rep- resentation of the work helped show visitors what we actually do in the program." This isn't only an opportunity for LCAD, but for EOS, as well. "We're experiencing a lot of in- terest coming from universities and from educational institu- tions," explains Jessica Nehro, field marketing manager at EOS of North America. "It's a huge initiative for us as an organiza- tion to offer our technology to various fields of study, to enable future artists and engineers to realize the power of 3D printing." Forming partnerships, such as the one between Solid Concepts and LCAD, is one way to affordably add design for additive manufacturing to an educational curriculum. "When I approached Solid Concepts about the contest, it was a real joy to find such enthusiastic support and genuine interest in the program," Appleoff says. She hopes that LCAD and Solid Concepts will be able to build a continuing relationship in order to expose more students to this new medium. "I think there's a genuine magic between what students do virtually and when it becomes reality," Appleoff says. "And that's what 3D printing brings to these young minds." ¢ These are some of the exciting topics that will be covered in the November/December issue of Computer Graphics World magazine. ¢ ANIMATION – The latest animation techniques on the big screen. ¢ OSCAR OUTLOOK – Experts weigh in on potential red carpet movies. ¢ SHORT FILM – Food for thought: The ingredients for a successful animated short film. ¢ CG IN THE CLOUD – A look at the best uses of the cloud for the computer graphics industry. ¢ DIGITAL ALCHEMY – Overcoming so ware rot to keep classic entertainment products viable. … And more FOR ADVERTISING INFORMATION CONTACT OUR SALES TEAM MARI KOHN, DIRECTOR OF SALES | 818. 291.1153 | mkohn@copcomm.com LISA NEELY, CORPORATE MARKETING & ADVERTISING SALES EXECUTIVE | 818.660.5828 | lneely@copcomm.com WILLIAM R.
