The report’s author notes that a historical case study can give you valuable insights into the art and science of 3D printing. Specifically, you can adopt techniques to improve your current designs or find novel ways to solve complex 3D-printed projects. In this way, knowledge from trailblazers in the field can drive innovation in 3D printing.
Among the influential figures you’ll learn about in the report are Olga D., Khalil H., Plamen D., Arthur G., and Kevin K. You will uncover not just their specific design style and approach, but also the innovations in technique and production that paved the way for others in the 3D printing space.
After discussing the pioneers in 3D printing, the report then shifts its focus to the tools they use to design and execute models. This portion pays special attention to the contributions of computer-aided design (CAD) in streamlining the process of crafting 3D models — the genesis of all your printed works. You can also learn about other tools such as DesignSpark Mechanical, Cinema 4D, Rhino3D, and Fusion 360.
Representatives from Functionalize note that this new guide is part of the company’s ongoing efforts to make 3D printing more mainstream. Also included in its collection are reports on the costs of 3D printing, product reviews of budget equipment, and open-software tools for additive manufacturing, among others.
A spokesperson says: “3D printing is taking the world by storm, but we can’t divine its future without understanding its past. We hope this report gives you not just a deeper understanding of this manufacturing process, but also an appreciation of the people who have shaped its growth. Our team is excited to present this volume and hope that you will find it enlightening.”
So what are you waiting for? If you geek out on all things 3D printing, be sure to add Functionalize’s new report to your to-read list.
