Machinery Submission Requirements
When submitting to the Machinery Design Competition keep in mind that your submission will be evaluated on multiple dimensions, your machinery design is judged together with its materials, craftmanship, ergonomics, technology, precision and efficiency. Applicants should send high-resolution images of the machinery, showing the product from multiple angles, together with a textual presentation of their work. The main image is especially important and should either be isolated on white background or could also be a highly professional photograph showcasing the machinery in good light. In addition to images, product brochures, user manuals, setup instructions and maintenance guides could further be uploaded as support documents.
Item | Dimensions | Format | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Main Image Required |
JPEG | The Key Visual should encapsulate the machinery's design excellence and industrial prowess through a high-resolution image or rendering. A clean, white background is recommended to ensure the machinery stands out, although an alternative backdrop may be employed if it enhances the design's visual impact. Lighting should be strategically used to accentuate the machinery's form and function, capturing the viewer's attention and conveying the design's innovation. | |
Optional Image 1 Required |
72 DPI |
JPEG | Showcase Image 1 ought to present the machinery in various operational states or with different attachments to demonstrate versatility. This image may display the machinery processing different materials or configured for distinct tasks, providing a comprehensive view of its multifunctionality and adaptability within industrial settings. |
Optional Image 2 Recommended |
72 DPI |
JPEG | Showcase Image 2 should zoom in on a particular innovation or unique feature of the machinery. A detailed view that highlights advanced technology, precision components, or a novel engineering solution will invite appreciation for the meticulous design and technical sophistication inherent in the machinery. |
Optional Image 3 Recommended |
72 DPI |
JPEG | Showcase Image 3 is expected to place the machinery within its intended industrial environment, illustrating scale, integration, and context. This image should showcase the machinery at work, emphasizing its efficiency and role within a larger manufacturing or processing workflow, thereby offering insight into its real-world application and effectiveness. |
Optional Image 4 Recommended |
72 DPI |
JPEG | Showcase Image 4 should capture the machinery in action, focusing on human interaction and ergonomic design. An image depicting operators engaging with the machinery will convey its user-friendliness and operational safety, highlighting design considerations that enhance the user experience and productivity. |
Documentation PDF Document Highly Optional |
A4 Page Size |
Documentation shall include comprehensive technical specifications, engineering drawings, and any relevant process flowcharts. This document should elucidate the machinery's design process, from conceptualization to execution, detailing the innovative features and capabilities that distinguish it from conventional equipment in its category. | |
Video Video / Audio File Highly Optional |
AVI | Video content should feature the machinery in operation, showcasing its performance, speed, and precision. The video may also include testimonials from engineers or operators, providing insights into the machinery's functionality, reliability, and impact on productivity. A well-crafted narrative can further illustrate the problem-solving aspects and technological advancements embodied in the design. |
