3D printing can be defined pretty simply: creating an object by building it up layer by layer, rather than machining it away, the way you would by making something from a block of wood, or squirting something into a mold, as you would for injection-molded plastic parts. Its flexibility and the sheer magic of seeing something built from nothing have captured people’s imaginations, and it is clear that surprising applications will continue to pop up for years to come.
This book is intended for several audiences. First, it is meant to be a self-contained tutorial on consumer
3D printers and the open source software that runs them. The field is changing very rapidly, though, and as such you should expect that the details of the software and hardware will shift away from the book’s descriptions. A recurring metaphor you will see in this book is that 3D printing is about as complex as cooking. In cooking terms, you will find that this book has a bias that shies away from providing recipes to follow exactly and instead leans toward teaching you how to cook over the long haul.
This book also is intended to be used as a text for a semester-length class or university extension certificate series covering 3D printing, its applications, and its place in manufacturing innovation. It might be paired with an in-depth class on 3D computer-aided design (CAD) software for students interested in engineering and industrial or product design applications. Similarly, it might be paired with in-depth instruction in one of the sculptural 3D-modeling programs for students developing skills in 3D animation or fine art.
