How to Get Started 3D Printing Without Spending a Fortune
Details
"Where do I start if I have a great idea for 3D printing?"
"Are we all going to have 3D printers in our homes?"
"Should I buy a 3D printer?"
"Can I make money with 3D printing?"
"Is 3D printing dangerous?" (Hint: nope!)
These are common questions from people looking to get into 3D printing. With so much recent press about the technology, these questions need to be addressed. 3D printing is perfect for prototyping new inventions and making small runs of end-use products in certain applications.
As a CAD professional, using 3D printing professionally has given me an insider's perspective on the technology, and I want to do my part in educating the public about how you can use 3D printing to your benefit.
To kick off this inaugural meetup, I have a $25 Shapeways (http://www.shapeways.com) gift card (thank you Shapeways!) to be raffled off at the Meetup. I'll also bring a collection of professionally 3D printed parts that you can get your hands on and ask questions about.
