The Best 3D Printing Book Yet?There have been a number of fascinating 3D printing books emerge, but we believe this one could be the best yet. It's published by 3D Hubs, the Netherlands-based 3D printing community network, I suspect in an effort to help their participants, both 3D printer operators and 3D print requestors understand the process of 3D printing a lot better.

Books You Should Read: The 3D Printing Handbook3D printing was invented in the 80s, twenty years passed, patents expired, and then several diverse uses for 3D printing technology were found. As such, the tips and techniques for 3D printing - especially filament-based printing - have been discussed and documented almost entirely on the Internet, mostly in chat rooms, forums, and YouTube videos.

The 3D Printing Handbook Review: The Only Handbook You'll Ever Need | All3DPYou can tell some thought was put into the design of the The 3D Printing Handbook. The layout is targeted for engineers and techies, which means no wasted time trying to find what you need. It's configured to be able to flip right to what you're looking for, even giving key words in the margins to avoid having to scan the full text.

Thanks @bramk for hunting us, we’re excited to be back on the Product Hunt! In 2013 I started 3D Hubs with co-founder Bram to distribute manufacturing with 3D printing. Since then we’ve managed to make over 1.2 million 3D printed parts. Through this journey we saw thousands of failed prints, plastic spaghetti messes and missed opportunities due to a lack of education about 3D printing. As a platform we learned (the hard way) what it takes to make good 3D Prints. Early last year I worked with two other members of the 3D Hubs team to turn all this knowledge into an easy to comprehend visual book, to help engineers and designers master all 3D printing technologies. If you’ve ever wondered how to design 3D printed parts, how the various technology works and how it’s being applied this book will help. Let us know what you think, we’ll be here to answer any questions! Brian Garret www.3DHubs.com
