DESCRIPTION:
For example, the jewelry that the character Stephanie creates is based on mathematical spirals.• It's fun to experiment with different polishes to change the surface of 3D-printed parts. In LEO, we used rice as a throw-in to make a shaker instrument.• The 3D modeling software Rhino has a plugin for Python scripting that allows people to use code to generate forms based on algorithms. 3D Printing Insights from Author Carla Diana• Interesting artifacts and textures sometimes emerge as a byproduct of the 3D printing process. For example, magnets or metal parts can be thrown in to make your pieces stick together. The cover letters for LEO were the result of a "happy accident." A print of some standard extruded lettering was stopped halfway through, and the letterforms that emerged were more unique than what we had origi
Readers can come along for the journey, too: all of the objects in the book are printable one way or another.. The other robots have their own special capabilities: H1-H0 prints in metal, Sinclair-10 can find and print objects from a huge catalog of designs, and the others (including AL1C3-D, IRIS-7, and NiXie) have unique talents, too. LEO is a walking, talking robot who has the magical ability to to print (in plastic) any object that Carla draws. LEO the Maker Prince teaches children (both young and old) about 3D printing by following Carla and LEO's journey through Brooklyn

Everything I know about A wonderful book! Everything I know about 3D printing I learned from reading this book. Seriously. I am not a techie. I loved learning all about the developments in the field of 3D printing. The book is a celebration of technology, set within a lovely story of friendship between an accountant and a robot. A great read for any age. My kids are 3 and 5 and are still on the young side for it, but they enjoyed the artwork, the objects and of course the robots.

Adventures in 3D printing anders sandell LEO the Maker Prince is a wonderful introduction into the world of 3D printing.The book does great job explaining an interesting new technology and shows a wide variety of creative and practical applications that your children will get excited about. The story serves as a catalyst for getting children (and adults) to begin making and designing projects on their own.After reading the book, I wanted to go out and get myself a 3D printer so I could begin exploring the technology with my nieces an
