According to distributors COMAG: Enabling users to produce three-dimensional, solid objects, 3D printers operate much like an inkjet printer. Instead of ink on paper however, which creates a two-dimensional image, the nozzle of a 3D printer gradually builds up layers of material to create a physical 3D object.
Aimed predominantly at men aged 18 and over, 3D Create & Print will provide readers with everything they need to know about 3D printing, including the science involved in the technology.
Every issue of 3D Create & Print will come with components for collectors to build their own 3D printer, which clip or screw together quickly and easily, without any soldering involved.
As well as parts for the printer, the 24-page magazine that accompanies 3D Create & Print will have full instructions on how the components fit together, explain what they do and how they work.
3D Create & Print will include a complete course in 3D design with software, exclusive designs and tutorials to inspire readers to create their own designs and print the practical objects at home.
Once complete, the 3D printer should never be idle, if it is not replacing a broken curtain hook or creating a handy tool, it could be printing a ‘phone case, jewellery or a toy from a child’s drawing.
Readers will be able to print anything that fits the print bed area – the only limit is their imagination!
