The members of the panel were genuinely impressed with the quality of the work they received. "To choose the winners was rather difficult as all the cases showed beautiful parts and details," explains Gonzalo Zubiri (Argentina). Oliver Brix (Germany) confirms: "It was fun and very interesting to see the different workflows and concepts behind the cases." Dr. Jiang Shan (China) emphasizes the inspiration involved in many cases: "Because creation begins from perfect imitation, being a member of the panel for the IPS e.max Smile Award was a great opportunity for me to get inspired for my own work, too.”
