The competition was organised by Wollongong 3D printing firm ModFab as a way to highlight to teens the necessary skills vital for the future workforce.
Chad Dewhurst, James Kuzman, Tiffanie Doan, and Chris Kiotis will be presented with a $1500 cheque for their school during the MindShift forum as part of the Blender Festival.
Entries were judged on their design integrity, creativity, usefulness, beauty and description.
“We put a lot of effort into our entry,” said Miss Doan. “We did an entire arm as well, not just the hand.”
The competition has been run in the Illawarra as a pilot in 2015, with the aim of expanding it to the rest of NSW in 2016.
