This is an excellent source for learning 3D printing.

The Make series of books is quite possibly my favorite for learning DIY projects, and this book is no different! An excellent resource that I got a lot of knowledge from, as I journey towards 3D printing.

Check this book out if you are looking towards 3D printing, and you will be well equipped to print whatever comes to mind!

It cover from Hardware, Software, 3D scanning, Materials, Services, Finishing Techniques, Applications to Other ways to make 3D Objects. It save you all of time in researching and reading other materials.

A good first book on 3D printing. A broad intro covering about everything you need to know. Whether you're just interested in the topic or ready to jump in you'll find this a worthwhile read.

Warning: If you've already been researching the topic you may have already read a good portion of this material. I think all of it has already appeared in Make magazine.
