3D printing for non-geeks

• The first thing you'll need when you want to 3D print whatever is a "blueprint" of your design.
  (Or look on 3D model sites like Thingiverse)


• Then you'll need a 3D printer or a 3Dprinting sevice/marketplace like Shapeways to print your design.
  
  
• You can choose different materials like nylon (different colours), stainless steel (bronze/gold plated), silver.


• They will print your design adding layer by layer to make your model and ship it to you.

Now youre thinking that sounds easy ?
I've heard a kid can do it too with PlayDough so why not you!

That's the magic of 3D printing!
