The Texas State library is hosting a printing contest to encourage students to use its 3-D printing lab. Bobcat Update's Stefan Whiteman has more.

The Alkek Library is hosting a 3-D printing competition to raise awareness about the unique features of the printing lab on the library's fourth floor. Students who are interested can submit their creations and compete for prizes.
The competition will be judged based on the creations' originality, creativity and utility. Other factors include ease of printing and aesthetics. Texas State student and librarian Daniel Blanchard says students can use 3-D software to create their files. Blanchard says Creator Studio was recently added to all Windows 10 devices.

The contest rules say participants must be careful not break any copyright laws or make anything inappropriate. Also, there are some rules in regard to printing.

To submit entries online, students should use S-T-L files. The grand prize winner will receive a free print of their design along with a variety of goodies ranging from a bag of coffee to a drone. Also, a video will be produced by YouStar Studio to show the winner's journey creating his or her submission. Entries will be accepted until March 23rd. For Bobcat Update, this is Stefan Whiteman.
