The trophy represents the Polymer Polyacrylonitrile, or PAN. This is a synthetic polymer that has a variety of uses, but key to the future of 3d printing.

One of the most significant applications of PAN is as a precursor for carbon fiber. The polymer is spun into fibers, and heated to very high temperatures, creating a lightweight, strong, and heat resistant material, ready to be 3d printed. 

This polymer will be used in various applications ranging from textiles, pharmaceutical and biotechnology, to the aerospace industry. 

The trophy depicts polyacrylonitrile, which symbolizes the strength, innovation, and forward-thinking excellence that define the winner of the 2024 3D Printing Industry Awards.

As for the model itself:

Unless you want to use supports it isn't very compatible with an FDM printer. Ideally the base would be printed by the SLS printer and the PAN polymer by the metal binder jetting.
