Not too long ago, operating a desktop 3d printer meant building your own, tweaking, tuning, and constantly upgrading. No more--3d printing has expanded into schools, libraries, homes, makerspaces, and hackerspaces. It's easy to get started with 3d printing, but it takes work to become a great 3d designer. Once you've graduated from downloading other peoples' model and doing simple rudimentary modeling of your own, you're going to want to try your hand at making something beautiful and enduring. Make: Design for 3D Printing gets you going with professional-level (and free!) design tools, and shows you how to model, scan, and perfect your designs. You'll learn amazing tips and tricks along the way, such as how to make 3D-printed moving models that print in place: take them off the printer, give them a wiggle, and they are ready to move!

The field of additive manufacturing is growing dynamically as the interest is persisting from manufacturing sector, including other sectors as well. Conceptually, additive manufacturing is a way to build parts without using any part-specific tooling or dies from the computer-aided design (CAD) file of the part. Second edition of Additive Manufacturing highlights the latest advancements in the field, taking an application oriented approach. It includes new material on traditional polymer based rapid prototyping technologies, additive manufacturing of metals and alloys including related design issues. Each chapter comes with suggested reading, questions for instructors and PowerPoint slides.

Affordable 3D printers are rapidly becoming everyday additions to the desktops and worktables of entertainment design practitioners – whether working in theatre, theme parks, television and film, museum design, window displays, animatronics, or… you name it! We are beginning to ask important questions about these emerging practices:· How can we use 3D fabrication to make the design and production process more efficient?· How can it be used to create useful and creative items?· Can it save us from digging endlessly through thrift store shelves or from yet another late-night build?· And when budgets are tight, will it save us money? This quick start guide will help you navigate the alphabet soup that is 3D printing and begin to answer these questions for yourself. It outlines the basics of the technology, and its many uses in entertainment design. With straightforward and easy-to-follow information, you will learn ways to acquire printable 3D models, basic methods of creating your own, and tips along the way to produce successful prints. Over 70 professionals contributed images, guidance, and never-before-seen case studies filled with insider secrets to this book, including tutorials by designer and pioneer, Owen M. Collins.
