Make: Getting Started with 3D Printing, Second Edition, is a practical, informative, and inspiring book that guides readers step-by-step through understanding this new manufacturing technology.

The book includes fundamental topics such as a short history of 3D printing, the best hardware and software choices, hands-on CAD tutorial exercises, and examples of how to apply 3D printing to personal life, professional work, and new business opportunities.

The second edition provides updated information and features exciting new chapters on troubleshooting your CAD and 3D print models.

Also included are new visual guides and a new section for businesses.

For every maker, would-be-maker and professional who is interested, or is confused, or who wants to get started in 3D printing today, this book offers methodical information that can be read, digested, and put into practice immediately!

The book is written in a casual, conversational style.

It is easily accessible to those who have no prior knowledge in 3D printing, yet the book's message is solidly practical, technically accurate, and consumer-relevant.

The chapters include contemporary, real-life learning exercises and insights for how to buy, use and maintain 3D printers.

It also covers free 3D modeling software, as well as 3D printing services for those who don't want to immediately invest in the purchase of a 3D printer.

Particular focus is placed on free and paid resources, the various choices available in 3D printing, and tutorials and troubleshooting guides.
