(PRWEB) December 18, 2013 -- 3D artists had been challenged by CGTrader.com and Staples in the Staples 3D Printing Challenge. Artists were invited to rethink the whole concept of the print-ready 3D models and design models which could be printed out of paper and sold at Staples 3D printing service MyEasy3D.

Designers took innovative approach to create 3D printable models. It was a difficult task to create a 3D printable object which could be printed of paper. However, some of the artists found solutions and submitted brilliant models.

“We are really happy to see such an enthusiasm from our members. Some of the models were more than amazing. Also, it was nice to have such a partner like Staples alongside. They helped 3D artists of our community to become known worldwide,” says Marius Kalytis, CEO of CGTrader.com.
