Beginning Design for 3D Printing is the full color go-to-guide for
creating just about anything on a 3D printer. This book will demystify
the design process for 3D printing, providing the proper workflows for
those new to 3D printing, eager artists, seasoned engineers, 3D printing
entrepreneurs, and first-time owners of 3D printers to ensure original
ideas can be 3D printed.
Beginning Design for 3D Printing explores a variety of 3D printing
projects. Focus is on the use of freely available 3D design applications
with step-by-step techniques that will demonstrate how to create a wide
variety of 3D printable objects and illustrate the differences between
splines, polygons, and solids. Users will get a deep understanding of a
wide range modeling applications. They'll learn the differences between
organic modeling tools, hard edge modeling, and precision, CAD-based
techniques used to make 3D printable designs, practical products, and
personalized works of art.
Whether you are a student on a budget or a company exploring R & D
options for 3D printing, Beginning Design for 3D Printing will provide
the right tools and techniques to ensure 3D printing success.
