Apply Now!

Applying for a Cool Idea! Award is easy—simply download the application form using the link provided below. Complete and email the completed form directly to coolidea@protolabs.eu. The application form will ask you for:


  1. A description of the project/product

  2. An explanation for why you think their project/product is “cool”

  3. What kind of support do you need? (moulded parts, machined parts, quantities, timeline, etc.)

  4. What is the overall benefit to the end-user of your product


After you’ve sent in your application, you will need to upload your 3D CAD model for review by clicking on the “Upload a Part” link below. Should you be selected for a Cool Idea! Award, you must use the award within 90 days, so you should be at a stage in your project to begin immediately.


The application is in Adobe PDF format. If you do not have Adobe Reader to view the PDFs, you can download it here.
