Win a Free Copy of the Repper Pattern App
March 2, 2011 @ 14:21 in News, Pattern Design Contest by Studio Ludens
Our friends at Ponoko have come up with a great new contest to let their community meet the awesomeness of Repper patterns.
The Contest
This month we’re giving away 5 free licenses of the delightful Repper tool, a simple application that lets you create repeating patterns.
With Repper, you can start with any source image, zoom in or out, change the tiling, edit colors on the fly, and export your repeating unit or the entire surface as a raster file. It does not export files in vector format (yet), but you can convert them using a vector editing application like Illustrator.
People have applied their Repper generated patterns to web and graphic designs as well as product design and interiors — and yes, a laser etched banana.
How would you apply a Repper pattern to a Ponoko project?
The top 5 answers will win a free Repper license courtesy of Dutch developers Studio:Ludens.
How to Enter:
Leave a comment below telling us about how you would use a Repper pattern with a project you could make using Ponoko.
Only comments describing projects that could be made with Ponoko’s digital making methods (3D printing & laser cutting) will qualify to win.
Prizes:
5 winners will each receive 1 free license to Repper, a €29 ($39) value.
Deadline:
Contest closes 16 March at 10p.m. PST.
People from the Ponoko and Studio:Ludens team will choose 5 winners total.
Winners will be notified on 17 March 2011 and announced in an update to this contest announcement.

Repper Pattern would be perfect for a project I thought about for some times.
It will allow me to add a terrific pattern to an awesome laser cutted Christmas tree ! (maybe in yummy red acrylic to play with pattern+transparency)
I didn’t found time to finish it for the last Christmas, but I plan to upload that for the next

How about a repeat pattern on Bamboo material to make a simple tab and slot constructed lamp. A thin rice paper could be applied to the inside to soften the glow.

I would like to see a nice handbag made as a ponoko project.
A lovely repper pattern on it give it a designers touch.
Greetings Mieke
