"I've been involved with 3D printing for more than a decade now and still found this book to be a valuable resource. The authors cover all the bases and link to current resources on-line for the most up to date information. Highly recommended for anyone in the industry or thinking about getting involved with 3D printing!"

"Well written and organized, this book will definitely help you get started. The early chapters give you a good feel for the current state of 3D printing, especially the hardware for the tinkerer. I frankly thought that maybe I should wait a couple of years until it evolves to plug and play. But then I'm at that age that I don't buy green bananas. So I kept reading, joined the Tinkercad community cited in the book and already have a couple of files ready to print. Bottom line, this book tells you how to get started safely and effectively, pointing out all the pitfalls for the beginner. Of course, now I'll have to come up with bucks to get the printer!"

"This is by far my favorite 3D printing book I have read in the past 4 years! I decided to try this book because it had useful info on 3D printing and 3 different types of modeling software. The trouble shooting section was a real life savor. This book covers everything and helped me a lot when I couldn't figure out how to fix my prints. I'm not very tech savvy and found other books harder to follow. I found this book the easiest to understand. I highly recommend it."
