Beginning Design for 3D Printing

Abstract

What makes 3D printing unique among other manufacturing technologies is that it is easily accessible, opening the doorway for anyone, with the desire, to turn their ideas into physical products, parts, tools, and works of art. Part of this accessibility can be found in a range of online services that allow those interested to peruse and output 3D-printable content. As a valuable resource, the Web is a grand showcase of 3D-printable objects, sculptures, and parts waiting to be discovered. With nothing more than an Internet connection, access to 3D-printable content is only few clicks away, making it is easy to download and purchase 3D-printable products.
