Reseña del editor

Many people know what 3D printing is, and others may have even seen one in action. However, few today know how to create 3D models, much less use their printer. Currently, understanding and utilizing the technology to design and manufacture products (as opposed to "things") still proves to be difficult for a myriad of reasons. Like any growing innovative technology, as the quality, speed and costs are optimized, the adoption rate and potential uses start to flourish. 3D Printing is a rising technology that will soon disrupt many industries across the economic spectrum. 3D Printing is dubbed the "Democracy of Manufacturing". Imagine. Anyone can design and create anything for anyone, anywhere. The democratization of media through self-publishing tools has spawned an age where everyone can easily produce and publish as an artist, producer, director or writer. Well, with the Internet & 3D printing the same is soon to change for objects. Before long people will be able to design, print and sell products from the comfort of their own homes. However, despite all the hype for 3D printing, the true potential of a 3D printing "Factory-On-Demand" is still often overlooked. There are many books out there that teach you how to create 3D printed objects. However, so far there has been no guide on how to turn 3D printing into a business. This book fills this gap by being the first guide on how to monetize your 3D printing skills. In addition to describing the technology in detail, it walks you through all the practical steps of turning your 3D printing skills into a business.
