 Like having a factory on your desk, a 3D printer allows you can make nearly anything you can think of. You don’t need permission from a board of directors or even orders from customers to produce new products. You just need your imagination! Offering a clear roadmap of best practices to help you successfully bring 3D printing into your home, classroom, or workplace — this fun, practical guide is intended for those who have no prior experience in 3D printing. Written in a casual, conversational style, Getting Started with 3D Printing, 2nd edition is easily accessible to those who have no prior knowledge in 3D printing.
