three-dimensional printing

"Provides instructions for creating models and objects using a 3D printer, from a pencil holder to a picture frame"--OCLC.

This title covers the latest, greatest advances in 3D printing, from how it works to how it's used in homes, schools, and workplaces.

Imagine if scientists had a tool that could make food or a chair seemingly out of thin air. Star Trek fans might recognize this piece of technology as "replicator," a concept that was also used in other science fiction stories. Readers learn that similar technology does exist, and it could eventually be used just like Star Trek replicators. Including STEM content as well as connections to popular culture, each chapter introduces readers to the latest in replicating technology, from 3D printers to lasers, through accessible language and explanations of this fascinating technology.

Today, people use 3D printers to build houses, airplane parts, food, and even living tissue. Inside 3D Printers introduces readers to the uses of 3D printers, the hardware and software that make 3D printers possible, and the future of 3D printing technology. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards. Core Library is an imprint of Abdo Publishing, a division of ABDO.

Explores the capabilities of 3D printing, and discusses how it could be used both now and in the future in the fields of manufacturing, medicine, art, science, fashion, and education. Includes color photographs, sidebars, a glossary, and further resources.
