Hello dear Community 
I wanted to share the following update with you, as you might be interested.
FreeCAD is launching the first-ever community design contest, in partnership with LabCrafter.
The 2026 Contest focuses on Open Science hardware, inviting participants to design an open hardware pinch valve.
You can find out more here: FreeCAD Community Design Contest 2026: Open Science - FreeCAD News .
Best of luck to anyone who participates
Nikoletta
