وصف الناشر
Fabricated tells the story of 3D printers, humble manufacturing machines that are bursting out of the factory and into schools, kitchens, hospitals, even onto the fashion catwalk. Fabricated describes our emerging world of printable products, where people design and 3D print their own creations as easily as they edit an online document.
A 3D printer transforms digital information into a physical object by carrying out instructions from an electronic design file, or 'blueprint.' Guided by a design file, a 3D printer lays down layer after layer of a raw material to 'print' out an object. That's not the whole story, however. The magic happens when you plug a 3D printer into today’s mind-boggling digital technologies. Add to that the Internet, tiny, low cost electronic circuitry, radical advances in materials science and biotech and voila! The result is an explosion of technological and social innovation.
Fabricated takes the reader onto a rich and fulfilling journey that explores how 3D printing is poised to impact nearly every part of our lives.
Aimed at people who enjoy books on business strategy, popular science and novel technology, Fabricated will provide readers with practical and imaginative insights to the question 'how will this technology change my life?' Based on hundreds of hours of research and dozens of interviews with experts from a broad range of industries, Fabricated offers readers an informative, engaging and fast-paced introduction to 3D printing now and in the future.

An interesting look into the 3D printed future
This book is a great primer for understanding the current state of 3D printing but also gives you a great understanding of the history of 3D printing. I see the book as a blueprint for many possible ways to explore the future of 3D printed objects. I am fascinated by the concept of cloud manufacturing, this will shake up the standard current business models of manufacturing.
The creative possibilities with 3D printing seem endless. I am excited to see what lies ahead of us and if we will be smart enough to use the technology towards improving ourselves and surroundings...and not use it for destructive purposes. The question we must ask is...will the future of 3D printing be our friend or foe? Only time will tell. As with all new improvements in technology the future is in our hands...literally.
