3D printing can seem like science fiction. Objects appear to be created out of nothing — as if by magic! With your own 3D printer, you can produce exactly the parts and products that you (and maybe only you) need.

Get started with a solid overview of concepts and techniques: Learn the basics of 3D construction with essential information on data files, programs, and software such as FreeCAD, Blender, Sketchup Free, Autodesk, Cura, Chitubox, and more.

Know what your options are for both kits and ready-to-use printers, discover what you need to do to make your first 3D printed part, and find out what it takes to become a 3D printing professional.

You will learn:

What 3D printing is
How to find 3D printing files online
What data is required for printing
How to construct custom files using 3D CAD
How to work with slicing software
3D printing techniques with practice lessons
Uses for a 3D printer
What can be made with a 3D printer
And much more!

A complete revision has been carried out from the first edition of this book. The major changes in the hardware and software for 3D printing have now been integrated into the book and the text, photos, and illustrations have been adjusted accordingly. In particular, the STL printing process with liquid resin, which is increasingly utilized by home users, is now presented in detail with its possibilities and practical applications. This updated edition of 3D Printers: A Beginner's Guide features the latest printers and programs, software updates, and a larger gallery to show you what's possible and what's not, plus tips and tricks for practical applications with all the current technologies.

If you aspire to use 3D printing for hobbies, crafts, spare parts, custom toys, or model engineering, this book will guide your first steps into a new future!
