    • Inspirational
This book inspired my 8 year old to create things on the 3d printer.

    • Good for kids, who are not mechanical engineers
I like this book a lot. Pros: * it covers the basics of both 3D design and best practices for 3D printing * it has projects that kids could relate to and shows pictures with kids in them * the book is well illustrated with four color plates on almost every page * it takes an integrated approach to software and 3D printing * the packages the book uses are free Cons: * some of the material is out of date already in that sites listed or software mentioned was discontinued a couple of years ago, e.g., autodesk flow design * the projects really require varying levels from moderate to extensive adult supervision * the book did not emphasize important aspects of 3D printing like support structures, fills, and printing time (While it is a bummer, many of the projects in the book are going to take hours, at least, to print, and that will vary considerably based on fill factor, etc.) All in all, this is a good book for the new, junior 3D printer masters, but be prepared as the adult in their lives to spend some time learning about 3D printing as you walk your apprentice through the steps. It will be good bonding time and something you may look back on the rest of your lives. ... show more

    • Great for a Class with a 3D Printer (or Two)
I work at a STEAM school that has a state-of-the-art Maker’s Lab with two 3D printers. (Why two, you ask? So if one breaks, the other one can create the parts it needs to get functioning again☺). We’re all stuck at home right now, riding out the school year teaching our students online, but I know when school is in full swing soon those 3D printers will be all the craze on campus again. What I like about 3D Printing and Maker Lab for Kids: Create Amazing Projects with CAD Design and STEAM Ideas by Eldrid Sequeira is that it has several specific, random objects with detailed instructions on creating them, as well as different components that can be made as a part of an overall craft. There are lessons and details about the science behind some of the creations, too. Students often come to me (as their English teacher) asking me what I’d like for them to make me. Now, I have several items bookmarked in this book that I look forward to having made for me. It’s truly wonderful to see students become makers of ‘cool stuff’, and I believe this book is a useful tool in the Maker’s Lab at our school. Thank you for taking the time to read my review. I hope that my review of this book has been helpful to you in your decision-making. ... show more

    • Not just for kids
I have been interested in 3D printing since I first saw an item (a prototype of an item my company had considered producing) being printed on a very large, commercial 3D printer. It was so cool! I'm older and enjoy learning new things - keeps me young - and I thought this way I could understand the process better. This book is a great way for an adult to learn the process too. Maybe parents and children together would do well reading this book together! ... show more

3D Printing and Maker Lab for Kids by Eldrid Sequeira is a great intro book for middle/high school-aged kids, or even bright elementary-age, with an interest in designing and 3D printing. The book has a good introduction to important concepts, and the designing programs they will use in the maker labs; Tinkercad and Sketchup. Both programs are available free. There are 25+ projects or “labs” that range in complexity from basic shapes, to puzzles and household items. I have a 14-year-old who is very interested in the designing aspect of 3D printing, and this is a good place to start. This book is written in a step-by-step format that is easy to follow; even grown-ups will want to get in on the fun. ... show more

    • Good Book, Needs a Different Title
The impression I get from the book title is that it will take me through the process of designing something in Tinkercad to getting it printed. There is no information about the actual printing process. Given the number of 3D printers on the market, the number of software packages and the various ways to design (m cad, modeling, sculpting, and so on), I would not expect a single book to cover everything. I am glad this book does not attempt that. What this book is; it is a guide to using Tinkercad to model 3D objects. First, this is a quality printed book. The covers are heavyweight, and the pages are thick. That is important for a book that will serve as guide. You are likely to go back and forth in the pages and refer to the book a lot which makes it important to be able to hold up. The directions, although simple in some cases, are clear. The illustrations and images are excellent. The overall design of the book is appealing. I have used Tinkercad heavily for complex 3D projects for two reasons. It is simple and it is free. If you understand how a software package like Tinkercad works, you know that complex designs are made from the combination of many simple objects and shapes. The labs in this book progress from simple to complex step by step perfectly in sync with the overall design approach you would use. This approach teaches and reinforces the proper use of Tinkercad. In that respect, this is an excellent book. There are a couple of chapters in the end that cover topics such as reverse engineering and Thingiverse as well as how to use SketchUp to design models. If the plan for this book is to be part of a series, the title may be fine. Overall this is a good book for learning how to use Tinkercad. ... show more

    • Decent
It seems to be a pretty decent introduction to 3d printing for newcomers. It has great illustrations and step by step instructions.
