Taylor & Francis Ltd 3D Printing for Product Designers
Book Synopsis3D Printing for Product Designers closes the gap between the rhetoric of 3D printing in manufacturing and the reality for product designers. It provides practical strategies to support the adoption and integration of 3D printing into professional practice.3D printing has evolved over the last decade into a practical proposition for manufacturing, opening up innovative opportunities for product designers. From its foundations in rapid prototyping, additive manufacturing has developed into a range of technologies suitable for end-use products. This book shows you how to evaluate and sensitively understand people, process, and products and demonstrates how solutions for working with additive manufacturing can be developed in context. It includes a practical, step-by-step plan for product designers and CEOs aimed at supporting the successful implementation of 3D printing by stakeholders at all levels of a manufacturing facility, tailored to their stage of technology integration and business readiness. It features a wide range of real-world examples of practice illustrated in full colour, across industries such as healthcare, construction, and film, aligning with the strategic approach outlined in the book.The book can be followed chronologically to guide you to transform your process for a company, to meet the unique needs of a specific client, or to be used as a starting point for the product design entrepreneur. Written by experienced industry professionals and academics, this is a fundamental reference for product designers, industrial designers, design engineers, CEOs, consultants, and makers.Trade Review"It would be difficult to find three individuals with greater knowledge of the subject. The detail in the book is presented in a rich and practical way. If you are new to 3D printing or have been familiar with it for years, you will benefit from this outstanding publication."

Hanser Publications Disruptive 3D Printing
Book SynopsisThis book unites the two sides of additive manufacturing: 1) the technical aspect of 3D printing of very different materials and 2) the disruptive consequences for value chains between producers, intermediaries, and customers due to modern business models. This is because 3D printing breaks with many existing business models: companies take over functions from their previous suppliers (following the "do-it-yourself" trend), intermediaries lose their livelihood (so-called "disintermediation"), manufacturers move their production to decentralized locations (e.g., retailers, car dealerships, or hospitals, so-called "decentralized production"), and (end) customers become much more intensive "prosumers" than marketing (as creator of this term) could ever imagine.The business models of many existing companies from very different industries are becoming toxic, i.e., threatening their very existence, as in logistics and warehousing, industry, services, retail, or customer service. Conversely, there are also many opportunities for modern, existence-securing business models, which the book discusses in more detail. In this way, this book not only shows to a broad range of readers the dangers of disruptive 3D printing technology, but also offers solution approaches and procedural models for identifying new economic livelihoods and competitive advantages. Thanks to the collaboration of the two authors, a profound knowledge of already existing references and management models can be drawn upon.Trade ReviewRalf Anderhofstadt and Marcus Disselkamp's recent publication illuminates the technical intricacies of additive manufacturing and various materials, in addition to exploring disruptive business models that impact the entire value chain. As such, their work addresses a highly relevant and contemporary subject matter. [...] Following the publication of the German version in August 2022, the English version includes further international AM experts with their perspectives in the English book. In addition, other exciting new topics have been added in the English version, such as linking 3D printing to the metaverse or even completely new, promising 3D printing production processes." 3printr.com, 09.03.2023

O'Reilly Media Getting Started with 3D Printing: A Hands-on
Book SynopsisThe book is written in a casual, conversational style. It is easily accessible to those who have no prior knowledge in 3D printing, yet the book's message is solidly practical, technically accurate, and consumer-relevant. The chapters include contemporary, real-life learning exercises and insights for how to buy, use and maintain 3D printers. It also covers free 3D modeling software, as well as 3D printing services for those who don't want to immediately invest in the purchase of a 3D printer. Particular focus is placed on free and paid resources, the various choices available in 3D printing, and tutorials and troubleshooting guides.

DOM Publishers 3D Printing and Material Extrusion
Book Synopsis3D printing is said to revolutionise architecture: Thanks to new technologies, plastic, concrete, or metal can be extruded in a liquid state and then hardened into its final form. With this Construction and Design Manual, architects and researchers Kostas Grigoriadis and Guan Lee present a comprehensive, up-to-date overview of the topic. The book consists of detailed case studies of 3D printed buildings, the materials that can be used in large-scale additive manufacturing, and a breakdown of the corresponding design guidelines, limitations, and achievable build dimensions. In addition to these, the focus is on the environmental aspects of the method, the lifecycle of 3D printable materials, and the embodied energy of 3D printing compared to conventional building construction.
