商品描述

So what is a 3D printer? It's a device you can either buy or build to make parts, toys, art, and even 3D images captured by a sensor or modeled in software. Maybe you have one, or maybe you're thinking about buying or building one, but once you have one, what can you do with it?

Practical 3D Printers takes you beyond building the printer to calibrating it, customizing it, and creating amazing models with it, including 3D printed text, a warship model, a robot body, windup toys, and arcade-inspired alien invaders.
First you'll learn about the different types of popular 3D printer models and the similarities and differences among them. You'll see how the MakerBot works, and how it's different from RepRap printers like the Huxley and Mendel as well as the whiteAnt RepStrap printer featured in the Apress book Printing in Plastic. You'll then learn how to find and create 3D models, and even how to create a 3D model from a 2D image. Next, you'll walk through building multi-part models with a steampunk warship example, working with meshes to build your own action heroes, and creating an autonomous robot chassis. Finally, you'll find all sorts of bonus projects to build, including wind-up walkers, faceted vases for the home, and a handful of useful upgrades to improve your 3D printer.

In Practical 3D Printers, Brian Evans, the author of Beginning Arduino Programming, takes this topic deeper than any other 3D printing book with an discussion of various types of popular 3D printers, how to customize and calibrate them, and how to design and create models to put your printer to work. Whether you have the MakerBot, the Mendel, the whiteAnt, or any other 3D printer, with Practical 3D Printers, you'll be able to create amazing things with your printer.

What you’ll learn

  • The various types of 3D printers, what they have in common, and what sets each one apart
  • The printer toolchain, including controllers and printer interfaces
  • The art of calibrating your printer
  • How to find and create 3D models to print, including using Google Sketchup
  • How to create multipart models and meshes
  • How to upgrade both the mechanical and electronic parts in your printer

Who this book is for

Electronics enthusiasts, tinkerers, artists, and everyone who wants to use their 3D printer to do more than make more 3D printers.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

3D打印機是什麼？它是一種可以購買或自行組裝的設備，用於製造零件、玩具、藝術品，甚至是由感應器捕捉或在軟體中建模的3D圖像。也許你已經擁有一台，或者正在考慮購買或組裝一台，但一旦擁有了一台，你可以用它做什麼呢？

《實用3D打印機》將帶你超越組裝打印機的階段，進行校準、自定義和創建驚人的模型，包括3D打印的文字、戰艦模型、機器人機身、發條玩具和街機風格的外星入侵者。

首先，你將了解不同類型的熱門3D打印機模型以及它們之間的相似性和差異。你將了解MakerBot的工作原理，以及它與RepRap打印機（如Huxley和Mendel）以及Apress書籍《Printing in Plastic》中介紹的whiteAnt RepStrap打印機的不同之處。然後，你將學習如何尋找和創建3D模型，甚至如何從2D圖像創建3D模型。接下來，你將通過一個蒸汽朋克戰艦的例子，逐步學習如何建立多部件模型，使用網格來建立自己的動作英雄，以及創建自主機器人底盤。最後，你將找到各種額外的項目可供建立，包括發條行走器、家用多面花瓶和一些有用的升級，以提高你的3D打印機的性能。

在《實用3D打印機》中，作者Brian Evans（《Beginning Arduino Programming》的作者）深入探討了這個主題，介紹了各種類型的熱門3D打印機，如何自定義和校準它們，以及如何設計和創建模型，讓你的打印機發揮作用。無論你擁有MakerBot、Mendel、whiteAnt還是其他任何3D打印機，通過《實用3D打印機》，你將能夠創造出令人驚嘆的作品。

你將學到什麼：
- 不同類型的3D打印機，它們的共同點和區別
- 打印機工具鏈，包括控制器和打印機界面
- 打印機校準的技巧
- 如何尋找和創建3D模型，包括使用Google Sketchup
- 如何創建多部件模型和網格
- 如何升級打印機的機械和電子部件

本書適合對電子學、修補、藝術以及希望利用3D打印機做更多事情的人。
