Kostenloses Buch: “Low-cost 3D Printing for Science, Education and Sustainable Development”

Vom 06. bis-08. Mai 2013 findet im “International Centre for Theoretical Physics” (ICTP) der “erste internationale Workshop” für “Low-cost 3D Printing for Science, Education and Sustainable Development” im italienischen Triest, statt. Als Vorbereitung bieten die Gastgeber ein kostenloses Buch über 3D-Druck zum Download an.

Im Zuge des Workshops, sollen nachhaltige Einsatzmöglichkeiten der 3D-Drucktechnologie für Forschung, Wissenschaft, Bildung und Entwicklung diskutiert werden.

1st International Workshop on “Low-cost 3D Printing for Science, Education and Sustainable Development”

The Science Dissemination Unit (SDU) of the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) is organizing this international workshop, to be held at the ICTP (Trieste, Italy) from May 6 to 8, 2013.

New, low-cost, three-dimensional printing technologies are providing exciting opportunities for research, education and humanitarian projects for the developing world. Using digital models, the 3D printers create or replicate solid objects out of plastic. The purpose of this workshop is to discuss and create awareness on the new 3D printing options through demonstrations of a number of available competing technologies, as well as presentations of ongoing research into new applications. Special focus will be given to the applicability of 3D printing to promote appropriate technology for sustainable development, scientific research and education.

Open Book on “Low-cost 3D Printing for Science, Education and Sustainable Development”

Das dafür angebotene, kostenloses .PDF Buch, bietet einen Überblick der aktuellen Forschung und soll Lust auf 3D-Druck machen.

Low-cost, three-dimensional (3D) desktop printing, although still in its infancy, is rapidly maturing, with seemingly unlimited potential. The hope is that this cutting-edge 3D technology will open new dimensions to science and education, and will make a marked impact in developing countries. This book gives a reasonable, first overview of current research on 3D printing. It aims to inspire curiosity and understanding in young scholars and new generations of scientists to motivate them to start building up their own 3D printing experiences and to explore the huge potential this technology provides –with the final goal of putting learning literally in their hands.
