How To Make Money With 3D Printing: Passive Profits, Hacking The 3D Printing Ecosystem And Becoming A World-Class 3D Designer (3D Printing Business, 3D Modeling, Digital Manufacturing) Paperback – December 17, 2014

Get this booklet. It isn't big, but it is well edited to save your time. I originally wanted to know just what others could do for me in 3D printing, and how I should submit my ideas to them, but soon, in reading the well organized 140 page book, I discovered that my primary project was one I could MANUFACTURE myself! You will be impressed by the world of 3D as identified by Mr. Ito. Obviously, he knows and defines and explains the entire anatomy of 3D, and you will be impressed by his honest summary of available equipment, defining lowest cost, easiest to use, limitations, and when you should consider avoiding the lowest cost (identified) in order to avoid certain limitations, yet you may find the lowest cost machine fit your needs. Speading the word that you and your equipment can do work for others is a baby-step after understanding the remarkable invention. Have an idea for a product? Print an actual prototype! Have a product? No need for inventory, print on demand. To most of the world this technology is so new, it is unknown outside of the techy crowd. What a great advantage to offer your services - and everything you want and need to know is logically talked about in understandable sequences. James I Dahle

Good Read with some information...

This was a short and very nice and simple yet concise book. The font size is large and the pages small and so the number of pages is a bit misleading! However it brings together a lot of the basics and external resources in one place. The 3D print domain is too vast and new for one guide to tell you how this will unfold and how to make money from it, but this is a great start.To give some context : I am a 3D print novice with no experience of 3D printing and interested in innovation and setting up a new business.

This book is an excellent overview of all the commercial opportunities in 3D printing as well as some sound business advice, eg Don't try to create a market for something, rather look for a product/soltion for which a market already exists.However, it does not tell one how to make money from these opportunities,but where the opportunities may exist. As a free download, it is nevertheless a very good reference.

It is a quick reader to get a whole picture of the 3d printing trend. even though it is very short, it provides many links for you to check by yourself. However, I hope next time, the author can add more data to show how many peoplpeople are in each area, and more of his own opinions about the future trend.

Although a fairly short read, I really enjoyed this book. As a hobbyist, I'm always reading industry news and other information on 3D printing, and this book gave me some great ideas on how to take advantage of this technology even more. Also, there are other little known facts in the book such as the "3D Print" movie/documentary on Netflix that I didn't know about until I read this book. Overall its worth the $11.00 in my opinion.

Hi, this book is a nice to have, but not a must have. It repeats the information found in other books and it has the feel of a collection of blog articles. Seems like one can get the same from reading the blogs of the author. Come to think of it, quite a hefty price tag for a book like this which does not provide much depth at all about the topic of 3D printing. I'm not recommending this book.

Too short, no real info. A good opportunistic title for the times. Little information of value.
