"There's a shortage of designers and engineers in the US today," laments Jon Cobb, vice president and general manager of 3D printing for Stratasys. It is among the primary reasons Cobb and his colleagues at The Dimension 3D Printing Group, a business unit of Stratasys, Inc. in Minneapolis, founded Extreme Redesign: The Ultimate 3D Printing Challenge, a global design and 3D printing contest for high school and college students. The goal of Extreme Redesign is to spark student interest in the areas of design and engineering, Cobb explains. "Extreme Redesign aims to give students a taste of the kind of rewarding and exciting work they may be engaged in should they choose careers in these fields."
