Part 1: Exploring 3D Printing

We will start our journey into 3D printing and design by focusing on 3D printers. We will learn a bit about the history of the 3D printer and then move on to how they work. We will investigate some of the software used in 3D printing before we print out our first model.

In this part, we cover the following chapters:

Chapter 1, Getting Started with 3D Printing
Chapter 2, What Are Slicer Programs?
Chapter 3, Printing Our First Object
