Good general introduction to 3d printing from types of printers and materials, printer components, and 3d modeling software. Would say that this won't teach you any skills. Get started with online tutorials of CAD software and also invest in a printer. best way to learn is to actually become a maker and just do it.

A bit too rudimentary to be really useful. Also, a lot of the information is already obsolete, as it deals with specific products and software, which as we all know change rapidly. It would have been better to focus on the various technologies and design approaches rather than recommend specific make/model, many of which no longer even exist.

Fun Read

I Just bought my first 3D printer. This book gave me good General insight into the 3d printing world. I also explained the critical difference between 3d modeling software and slicing software. Great for a beginner.

it is... very introductory. but it's also quick and easy to read and as far as I can tell, not wrong, and it does give you some good info.

A very introductory book on 3D printing. Not much on how to do it and resources.

Not sure why this has so many bad reviews. It's a very practical book and gives a solid primer to 3D printing!

If you're thinking of getting, or have just obtained, a 3D printer then grab a copy of this book stat! I did not and after reading it I wish I had. I'm kinda a hands-on learner which translates into making a lot of mistakes before getting things right. Then I sat down and read this book in a couple of afternoons and saw that I was still making some mistakes! While not the only source of information you should consult this one quickly gets down to brass tacks with lots of practical advice. (yes, I will be getting an almost airtight plastic tub to store my filaments in, thank you very much) The CAD tutorials alone are worth the price of admission.

An excellent introduction to a tricky topic.

The book goes on and on about how great additive manufacturing is and will be in the future. I know this. I wanted a hands on book - how to use a 3D printer. A waste of time.

A really good introduction to the possibilities for a 3D printer. Well worth the price if you are considering getting a 3D printer.

This book has made it clear that I'm still in over my head. I did like that there was a chapter just for how to use 3D printers in makerspaces. That was helpful.

Sound 3D printing overview. If you're into that sort of thing.

[Jake Anderson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Full of lots of good practical information and not too much of the idealistic this-will-change-the-entire-world silicon valley worship.
