Printing in Plastic: Build Your Own 3D Printer
There’s been a lot of buzz around three-dimensional printers, amazing devices that are taking the DIY community by storm. But what exactly is a 3D printer and where are they sold? Unlike inkjet or laser printers that print with ink on paper, 3D printers apply melted plastic that cools and hardens. The plastic is applied in layers on a flat surface, creating the 3D effect. 3D printers can be purchased for around $10,000, but why spend that money when it can be built for a fraction of the cost?

Patrick Hood-Daniel, co-author of Apress’s latest book "Printing in Plastic: Build Your Own 3D Printer" explains, “3D printers do not require a large number of tools, rocket science, or advanced skills to build. These machines can be built by anyone comfortable using common power tools, such as a table saw, circular saw, and drill press.”

"Printing in Plastic: Build Your Own 3D Printer" guides readers through the process of building a 3D printer step by step. Once the machine is built, the 3D printer can be connected to a computer and can print out designs using free and available software shared by others on the Internet. It can also be used to construct custom configurations.
