Make: books editor, Patrick DiJusto talks 3D Printing with the authors of Getting Started with 3D Printing, Liza Wallach Kloski and Nick Kloski. Liza and Nick run HoneyPoint3D, which started in 2012 as a small 3D printing shop in Northern California. Explaining 3D printing to many people was the motivation for them to write this book, whose first edition came out in 2016 and is just now updated in a second edition. This conversation is a chance to look at what's changed in the world of 3D printing over the last ten years. While the hype has died down around 3D printing, there are more people doing 3D printing than ever. During the pandemic, makers demonstrated how you can use 3D printing to do on-demand manufacturing and meet local needs. If you haven't yourself started 3D printing, now is a great time, especially with this practical, hands-on book. The printers are easier to use and the software is easier to learn.
