What would you experiment with, what would you design, what problems could you solve if you had a 3D printer on your desk?

You now have an opportunity to win one from Stratasys.

Stratasys is hosting a contest, and the winner will receive a Mojo 3D Printer Pack, valued at $5999.

Unlike other desktop 3D printers, the Mojo was developed for the design engineer. Every engineer needs a desktop 3D printer, just like you need a computer, a cell phone and an Internet connection to innovate and create your ideas. An affordable desktop 3D printer will become a necessary tool where you can quickly and easily see if your creation fits the design requirements, has the right form, and even test it. Then, you can reiterate or alter the design quickly based on the feedback.

But until that day arrives, you can win a 3D printer.

The Mojo 3D printer is one of the more affordable and fast printers on the market. It uses FDM technology to print finely resolved models in nine colors; resolution is 0.007-in. (0.178 mm). In addition to the 3D printer, the winner of the contest will also receive the WaveWash 55 Support Cleaning System, Print Wizard and Control Panel software, and start-up supplies.

The Mojo produces models in ABSplus production-grade thermoplastic, for durable, high quality parts. It is one of the more intuitively easy to use 3D printers on the market. The Print Wizard software helps you orient and optimize your 3D print files in an easy-to-use graphic interface. It includes STL thumbnails, real-time auto-packing and 3D views of your print job. The software also gives you real-time 3D printer status and estimated print time.

The Mojo was also one of the first desktop printers to offer easily changeable print heads. The QuickPack Print Engines deliver the model and support materials to build your 3D printed parts and are simple to switch out when you want to change printing materials. With every material change, the Print Engine provides a fresh print head to ensure optimum part quality. Replacement is easy. The Print Engines snap into the 3D printer much like replacing an ink cartridge on a home document printer. Each foil bag contains 80 cubic inches of material.

And the WaveWash 55 Support Cleaning System removes excess or support material easily. With a stainless-steel carafe, it’s compact and runs quietly. No plumbing connection is required. It includes the Ecoworks Tablets, which make part cleaning fast and simple.

So what do you need to do to enter this contest? Simply register here. That’s it. The winner will be announced around the middle of June. So register, and this summer you could be seeing just what you can do with a 3D printer on your desk.
