Summary: The promise of 3D printing is locked behind the set of skills needed to make amazing things with it. Even with the widespread availability of free CAD tools like TinkerCAD, OpenSCAD, and SketchUp, figuring out where to start is a challenge: if looking at a blank canvas in a word processor or drawing app gives you pause, imagine how much more intimidating it is with a blank 3D canvas! When you're ready to graduate beyond downloading and printing models from Thingiverse and YouMagine, this book will help you get over the "designer's block" that many face. And 3D-printed models can be so much more than plastic--you'll learn how to augment your projects with motors and electronics. After you finish some of the projects in this book, you'll be ready--and inspired--to design and make your own. -- Publisher's description.
