A3 DTF Printer Challenge

Learn the Machine. Beat the Clock. WIN!

GRIDGAME is a gamified educational initiative by
am.co.za® where teams test their engineering,
diagnostic, and problem-solving skills in a hands-on machine challenge.

In the first game, teams receive an A3 DTF printer to disassemble,
reassemble, and operate within 10 working days. Teams of 1-5 players
work independently in secure workspaces during official hours.

If you can learn the machine and beat the clock, you get to keep the DTF machine.
