Simulating Success Under Pressure: Eggdrop Engineering Showdown

Get ready for a high-stakes engineering challenge like no other! 

In this live webinar, we’ll take you inside our Eggdrop Challenge - where two bold designs went head-to-head with one goal: protect a fragile egg from the impact of a falling brick. It’s a battle of brains, creativity, and engineering precision.

Meet the contenders:

• Team Thundercone
• Team Humpty Dumpty Defender

Using Stratasys F370 3D printers and Nylon CF10 (a carbon fiber-reinforced nylon filament), both teams built innovative structures designed to absorb serious force. But great design only goes so far, simulation tools made the difference.

In this session, you’ll:

• Explore the simulation tools used to test the designs before printing
• Learn how sim helped optimize strength, energy absorption, and structural integrity
• Watch live demo comparisons and video highlights from the drop tests
• Hear from the winning team about their design process, collaboration, and why their model came out on top
• Compare predicted outcomes vs real results, and where things surprised us

We’ll also break down why simulation isn’t just for challenges like this - it’s essential for real-world product development, helping teams fail early, iterate faster, and save time and cost in the long run.

Whether you’re an engineer, designer, or just love a good competition, this webinar brings fun, insights, and practical takeaways.
