  • Real World Advice From Someone That's Been There, Done That
I couldn't wait to finish reading this book so I could post a review! How nutty is that? However I found this author's book a refreshing real world perspective into the current state of 3D printing and how it relates to your Joe average consumer/maker. As someone recently bitten by the bug of "3D Printing" I certainly appreciate all the hype regarding this technology and how it's changing the world. However unlike Chris Anderson's book, Makers: The New Industrial Revolution (which I also highly recommend) Melissa Darnell emphasizes how this technology can change YOUR life, today. Historically, passive income streams have seemed to belong more to movie stars and recording artist collecting residuals from their work. However technology and companies such as Shapeways have established mechanisms that allow anyone with a Maker bent to not only create, but seamlessly offer their creations for sale to the public with little to no risk. She provides practical hands-on advice on everything from 3D software tools (many free), establishing a niche (keep it narrow), internet marketing (surprisingly Facebook not recommended), print on demand services (Shapeways), and examples of others like herself that have excelled in this marketplace. All this with a writing style that feels more like sitting with a friend over coffee and sharing a conversation about your latest favorite passion. ... show more

I've been into 3D printing on and off, but it wasn't until I read this book - yes, for the absolute beginner - that I realized how much the field progressed. And what I took most from it is the mushrooming of 3D design apps where you can customize a certain type of object and the 3D model can be downloaded, printed, sold. I've lived and endured through the era of big, slow, expensive 3D design software and now I can design something on my phone and put it up for sale? Unbelievable! The second thing that I liked was the final section with designer interviews. It seems I'm not the only one switching fields all the time. It was interesting to see how other people got into 3D printing first as a hobby and later on, as the central part of their lives. And speaking of polymaths, I was amazed by the diverse experience of the author when I checked the list of her projects and written books at the end. ... show more

  • Interesting.
A lot of the book is about other people’s stories of 3d design and marketing their business. Some good material here and there about the software used in designing.

Great intro book with thorough information. Great value for the price. The author does a great job of articulating the knowledge in a simple, easy-to-understand way.

  • Interesting
The book isn't so much about 3D printing for income as it is a collection of ideas and stories about various ways people use today's technology to create a business. It is eye opening in many ways even for a technology person. The information about marketing is very good. Quick and useful read if you are considering opening a business with small things you create. ... show more

  • Decent book
Good book. Goes through the basics of 3d printing, but is an unfair portrayal of the limited scope of 3d printing.
