An accessible introduction to 3D printing that outlines the additive manufacturing process, industrial and household markets, and emerging uses.

The use of 3D printing--digitally controlled additive manufacturing--is growing rapidly. Consumer models of 3D printers allow people to fabricate small plastic objects, from cabinet knobs to wedding cake toppers. Industrial uses are becoming widespread, as businesses use the technology to fabricate prototypes, spare parts, custom-fitted prosthetics, and other plastic or metal items, often at lower cost and with greater efficiency than standard manufacturing. In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, John Jordan offers an accessible introduction to 3D printing, describing the printing process, industrial and household markets, and emerging uses.

Jordan outlines the stages of 3D printing, from idea to software model to a printable file that slices the planned object into printable layers to the finished object itself. He describes additive technologies, consumer 3D printing in homes and schools, mass customization (which can create tens of millions of unique items), and industrial uses. Jordan explains that although 3D printers have not become the ubiquitous home appliance once predicted, they are making inroads into mass markets; and he discusses the business factors that may hinder industry adoption of 3D printing technologies. He considers the possible unintended consequences of 3D printing on jobs, as companies scramble to find employees with an uncommon skill set; on business models and supply chains, as manufacturing is decentralized; and on patent law, as machines can be programmed to copy protected property. Finally, Jordan looks at new and emerging uses, including bioprinting, building construction, and micromachines.

Perfect Puppy Starter Toy Set
Color: 9 Pack (No-stuffed Fox), Color: 9 Pack (No-stuffed Fox)
This toy pack is such a great value for puppies. My puppy stayed entertained for hours and loved having different textures to chew and play with. The toys feel soft but still durable enough for everyday use. A few of the smaller toys are better for light chewing, but overall it’s a fun variety pack for keeping a puppy happy and active.

Very small toys! But they are fun!
Color: 9 Pack (No-stuffed Fox), Color: 9 Pack (No-stuffed Fox)
All the toys in this pack are very small. I almost sent it back because I was worried they’d be too small for our new puppy. I’m glad we didn’t though because she loves all the toys. Her favorite is the fox because it makes the crunchy plastic sound. She will outgrow the toys but for now this was perfect for her.

Great Toy Bundle
Color: 9 Pack (No-stuffed Fox)
My puppy loves these so much that I purchased a second set! The toys keep him engaged, are very cute and soft, and so far have withstood the wrath of a slightly psychotic furchild! Highly recommend!

My puppy loves this set
Color: 9 Pack (No-stuffed Fox)
It’s been 15 years since I had a puppy so after I adopted a 9 week old puppy, then I realized I had no toys for her! I wanted a variety at a reasonable price. And fast too! This arrived the next day and she immediately started playing with everything. I think her favorite is the fox but she loves them all. The first time she heard the avocado squeak was priceless. She also loves the rope toys but they shred so I limit her time alone with them. These probably won’t last a long time but they were a good price for a lot of variety of items. She is happy so I’m happy. Thanks
