ABOUT
3D-printing
is a new craft technique that seems like science fiction. Objects appear
to be created out of nothing - as if by magic.
3D-printing will be one of the key technologies for the future, because
everybody that is able to use the necessary software will be able to manufacture
a lot of things at home. It is set to revolutionise the way everything
is made and may change production processes fundamentally forever.
This book shows you the practice of 3D-printing at home. It gives the
reader an overview of the basics of this technique and the materials and
the knowledge you need for a successful start in the use of 3D-printing.
The hardware and software you need is described, and tips and tricks for
the practical application of 3D-printing are given.
If you aspire to use 3D-printing for your hobby or for creating other
things like spare parts or personalised items, this book is a guide for
your first steps into a new future.
Oliver Bothmann is a technical journalist based in Germany, a former
editor-in-chief of three modelling magazines and published expert on modelling
and machinery.
