3D-Printed Beer Taps

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

New Agorist Beer Company is Launching a Brewery Tap Design Contest

— May 15, 2018 — Art & Design
In collaboration with MatterHackers and Ultimaker, Craft brewery New Agorist Beer Company has launched a competition for the development of a 3D-printed brewery tap that will be used in all of the restaurants, bars and venues that carry the company's beer.

The designs must fit within a certain range of dimensions, incorporate triangles to reflect a component of the brewery's branding, a 3D New Agorist logo and contain slots so that cards can be added or removed to identify the different kinds of beer on tap. Just a few months ago, New Agorist Beer Company commissioned a 3D-printed tap handle, which may help to provide designers with a general idea of what the brewery is looking for.

As well as being able to see their 3D-printed tap design in various locations, the winner will also get an Ultimaker 2+ Extended 3D printer.
