This book is designed as an overview of the technology, applications, and design issues associated with the new 3D printing technology. It will be divided into three parts. Part 1 will cover a brief background of the history and evolution of 3D printing, along with their use in industry and personal consumer end. Part 2 will document three different projects from start to finish. This will show a variety of printers and what is needed before a project starts, as well as some of the pitfalls to watch out for when creating 3D prints. Part 3 will be a look ahead to how 3D printing will continue to evolve and how 3D printing is already in our pop-culture. Companion files are included with applications and examples of 3D printing. Features: * Provides an overview of the technology, applications, and design issues associated with the new 3D printing technology * Includes review questions, discussion / essay questions and "Applying What You've Learned" in every chapter * Companion files are included with projects, images, and samples of 3D printing

Based on articles and projects from MAKE's print and online publications, this book arms you with everything you need to know to understand the exciting but sometimes confusing world of 3D Printing.
With this handy guide at the helm, you'll find all the fast and easy-to-follow guidance you need to build 3D-printable objects. Find out how to use designs, software, and even photographs to turn your concepts into creations.
In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, John Jordan offers an accessible introduction to 3D printing, describing the printing process, industrial and household markets, and emerging uses.
After learning the basics, this book will walk you through building multi-part models with a steampunk warship project, working with meshes to build your own action heroes, and creating an autonomous robot chassis.
After debinding you have a brown part. (These color names, incidentally, do not have anything to do with the actual color of the part at that point in the process and are used for historical purposes.) Caution A brown part is usually ...
Fabricated tells the story of 3D printers, humble manufacturing machines that are bursting out of the factory and into schools, kitchens, hospitals, even onto the fashion catwalk.
This book is aimed at an audience consisting of two kinds of readers.
Updated for the latest generation of machines and materials, this book walks you through creating models and printing 3D objects.
