The age of 3D printing and personal fabrication is upon us! You've
probably heard of the incredibly sophisticated, yet inexpensive 3D
printers that can produce almost any creation you give them. But how do
you become part of that revolution?
Sandeep Singh takes you through the skills you need to learn and the
services and technologies you need to know--explaining what 3D printing
is, how it works, and what it can do for you. You'll find yourself
rapidly prototyping and learning to produce complex designs that can be
fabricated by online 3D printing services or privately-owned 3D
printers--in your hands in no time.
Beginning Google SketchUp for 3D Printing starts by explaining how to
use SketchUp and its plug-ins to make your design products. You will
learn how to present and animate 3D models, and how to use Google Earth
and 3D Warehouse to sell and market your 3D models. You'll also catch a
glimpse of the 3D printing's future so you can plan ahead while
mastering today's tools.
Beginning Google SketchUp for 3D Printing is the perfect book for 3D
designers, hobbyists, woodworkers, craftspeople, and artists interested
in the following:
- Designing in 3D using SketchUp
- Using the online 3D printing pipeline
- Animating SketchUp 3D models
