MINNEAPOLIS--(Business Wire)--
Dimension 3D Printing, a brand of Stratasys Inc. (NASDAQ: SSYS), today announced
the winners in its fifth annual "Extreme Redesign" challenge.

Extreme Redesign: The Ultimate 3D Printing Challenge is a global design and 3D
printing contest for high school and college students. The contest calls on
computer-aided-design (CAD) students worldwide to submit their most creative,
useful and innovative Extreme Redesigns, whether it is a new perspective on an
everyday product or a fresh vision for updating a famous piece of art, animation
or architecture.

The three winners were selected from an international pool of entries by a panel
of experts from within the design and engineering fields. Designs fall into one
of three categories: High School, University or Art and Architecture. The three
first-place category winners will receive $2,500 scholarships. The remaining
finalists will each receive $1,000 scholarships.

Winners

* High School Category: Jordan Berger, New Paltz H.S., N.Y.

The goal of Berger`s design, "Alphabet Blocks," is to create a safer set of
blocks that are more conducive for learning. The redesigned blocks would be
manufactured from soft plastic rather than hard wood, removing the possibility
of splinters. The blocks could be manufactured in multiple languages and would
feature raised characters with corresponding images symbolizing each individual
letter, such as an apple for the letter "A."

* University Category: Christopher Triska and Alexander Soloviev, Ryerson
University, Toronto, Ontario

The goal of Triska and Soloviev`s design, "Light Switch Cover," is to expand the
functionality of an everyday light switch cover. Most light switches are located
near doors with clear wall spaces creating an opportunity to enhance functional
activity. By physically extending the boundaries of a light switch cover,
functions can be incorporated into the plate - such as space for mail and keys.
Interchangeable plates allow for variation, adaptation, expandability and ease
of replacement.

* Art and Architecture Category: Michael Schmelzel, Waubonsie Valley High
School, Aurora, Ill.:

The goal of Schmelzel`s design, "Warrior Tailgating Pancake Mold," is to create
a product that promotes school spirit and can be sold to raise funds for booster
clubs. The pancake mold is designed in the shape of the school logo. He
envisions the pancake mold being sold and used at tailgate parties, such as
football games and other school events.
