Description

From a simple desk tidy to an elaborate castle, this step-by-step guide to 3D printing is perfect for children and beginners who want to learn how to design and print anything even if they do not own a printer. 3D Printing Projects provides an introduction to the exciting and ever-expanding world of 3D designing and printing. Learn how a 3D printer works and the different types of 3D printers on the market. Understand the basic 3D printing and designing terms, how to create and prepare files for printing, and also how to scan things to create a 3D model! You will also find out the common troubles faced while 3D printing and simple tricks to fix them. All the projects included in the book can be made using freely available online 3D modeling/CAD programs. Each project has a print time, details of filament or material needed, and a difficulty rating – from "easy" for beginners to "difficult" for those looking for a new challenge. Step-by-step instructions walk you through the 3D design process, from digital modeling and sculpting to slicing, printing, and painting so that children can make their own shark-shaped phone stand, customized lamps, and much more. The book also gives inspiration to further enhance your projects once you’ve mastered the basics. Join the 3D printing revolution today with DK's 3D Printing Projects book. Read more

Looks good...colorful, helpful. Very nice quality
I thumbed through and saw some basic yet inspiring designs and instructions for someone who is new to 3D printing. Got it for my 29 yr old son along with an Ender 3D 5 printer. So I have not used the book or the printer myself, but it looks like it would work with many different kinds of intro 3D printers. It does seem to start out with creating your own basic designs to print (challenging) and I would imagine some people will start with many of the pre-designed prints first, and it does look like the book gets into that. Remember there are also many designs (intro to advanced) that you can download and print. Some free and some for pay. As found on thingiverse dot c om and other sites. :) ... show more

A decent book for beginning users, not so great for those of us with a little experience
The target audience seems to be new users, and to that end, it seems like a decent book, reasonably well written, and it has information to help the new 3D printing/design enthusiast get started, but there's nothing in this book that couldn't be figured out for free by doing some basic research into 3D printers and by going through the Tinkercad intro tutorials. ... show more

Please be aware
Please note: The book does not supply any files for the projects. You will have to create them yourself.

Explains how to and concepts of 3D printing
Bought for my husband who is learning about 3D printing, he said it was very informative and helped him a lot.

Many projects
Many great projects to create and very easy for students to follow along. The step-by-step directions were easy for high school students to follow on their own. Even a teacher with no experience in 3D design can use this book in class.

A basic illustrated listing of ideas.
Okay generic information, it might be too basic to teach you much about getting started with 3d printing.

Great for middle schoolers.
Bought this for my 3d printing elective with 7th graders. Great for around middle school age kids. Very colorful and easy to read.
