Aluminum Extrusion Design Competition seeks innovative designs

The Wauconda, Ill.-based ET Foundation—the educational and scientific organization devoted to promoting and advancing aluminum extrusion processes and technologies—is seeking entries for the 2010 International Aluminum Extrusion Design Competition. Professionals along with students studying design and engineering are invited to enter their designs featuring aluminum extrusions. Prizes and student scholarships presented as cash awards totaling $18,000 will be sponsored by Hydro Aluminum. The ET Foundation will accept entries for the 2010 International Aluminum Extrusion Design Competition until February 15, 2010. Aluminum profiles can be the solution to many design challenges. In order to communicate the advantages of extruded aluminum to engineers, designers, students, and others, a variety of tools and resources are available at the ET Foundation’s Design Competition Web site at www.etfdesign.org, including a new slide presentation, “Designing to the Limits of Your Imagination,” which is available to download from the site.
