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)

所以什麼是3D印表機?這是一種您可以購買或自行組裝的設備,用來製作零件、玩具、藝術品,甚至是由感測器捕捉或在軟體中建模的3D影像。也許您已經擁有一台,或者您正在考慮購買或組裝一台,但一旦擁有了它,您可以用它做什麼呢?

《實用3D印表機》將帶您超越組裝印表機,學習如何校準、客製化它,並使用它創建驚人的模型,包括3D列印的文字、戰艦模型、機器人身體、發條玩具和受街機啟發的外星入侵者。

首先,您將了解不同類型的流行3D印表機模型及其相似之處和差異。您將看到MakerBot的運作方式,以及它與RepRap印表機(如Huxley和Mendel)以及在Apress書籍《塑料印刷》中介紹的whiteAnt RepStrap印表機的不同之處。接下來,您將學習如何尋找和創建3D模型,甚至如何從2D影像創建3D模型。然後,您將通過一個蒸汽龐克戰艦的範例,學習如何構建多部件模型,使用網格來創建自己的動作英雄,並創建一個自主機器人底盤。最後,您將找到各種額外的專案來構建,包括發條步行者、家用多面體花瓶,以及一些有用的升級來改善您的3D印表機。

在《實用3D印表機》中,Brian Evans,即《Arduino編程入門》的作者,將這個主題深入探討,討論各種流行3D印表機的類型、如何客製化和校準它們,以及如何設計和創建模型以使您的印表機發揮作用。無論您擁有的是MakerBot、Mendel、whiteAnt或任何其他3D印表機,透過《實用3D印表機》,您都能夠用您的印表機創造驚人的事物。

您將學到的內容:
- 各種3D印表機的類型,它們的共同點以及每種印表機的獨特之處
- 印表機工具鏈,包括控制器和印表機介面
- 校準印表機的藝術
- 如何尋找和創建可列印的3D模型,包括使用Google Sketchup
- 如何創建多部件模型和網格
- 如何升級印表機的機械和電子部件

本書適合對象:
電子愛好者、修補者、藝術家,以及所有希望利用3D印表機做更多事情的人,而不僅僅是製作更多的3D印表機。
