Languages : en
Pages : 88
Book Description
Complete guide to explore 3d printing, scanning, sculpting, and milling Key features Step-by-step guide to learn the techniques, methodologies, and finished products Learn to employ 3D technology in new and inventive ways Know to enlarge, reduce, and repurpose existing artwork. Book is a practical tutorial, packed with real-world case studies to help you to design models that print right the first time. Learn to design models, choose materials, work with different printers, and integrate 3D printing with traditional prototyping to make techniques more efficient. DescriptionThis book 3D Printing Made Simple takes you through this exciting innovation, a technology called 3D Printing. It is revolutionising the way we do a lot of things and not just the creation of physical objects. The huge growth rates are a direct result of its applications for prototyping and mass production in a number of industries, thanks to an ever-increasing list of 3D printable materials. The World Economic Forum describes it as one of the four pillars of the 4th Industrial Revolution alongside AR, VR & AI, big data, blockchains etc. Many developing countries like India, completely missed the 1st two industrial revolutions (steam & petrol engines) and partially benefitted in the 3rd (electronics/computers). Now can we afford to not, or just partially participate in the 4th Industrial Revolution?Book adopts a practical approach, with step-by-step instructions to help guide readers.
