The Hack3D competition serves to raise awareness and generate discussion in engineering and research communities about security in the additive manufacturing (AM) field.
In Hack3D’s 2019 Qualifying Round, participants are challenged to reconstruct a corrupted .gcode file, employing skills in file forensics and reverse-engineering.
In the Final Round, teams will compete in hacking an anti-counterfeiting system designed to protect CAD models.
Students who are interested in learning more about CAD, reverse-engineering, security, and additive manufacturing are encouraged to apply.
Hack3D is generously supported by the National Science Foundation.
