3D printing is the hottest new technology. It allows just about any at-home inventor, artist, or engineer to design, create, and “print” their own parts, artwork, or whatever else can be imagined — all at very reasonable costs. Idiot’s Guides: 3D Printing explores this new revolution by explaining all of the basics of materials, parts, software, modeling, design, and finishing. The book then takes it to the next level by teaching readers how to take their new skills and print some simple, fun projects. Helpful advice on setting up a home-built 3D printer, buying a manufactured printer, selecting raw materials, and finding plans and projects online, are also covered.
