3D Printing Programming - Salvatore Capuano and Martina
If you are fascinated by 3D printing, surely you have discovered that it is necessary to have a minimum of skills in creating these objects on the computer, ie modeling them in 3D. In this workshop we will learn how to use a very simple and effective modeling system that allows you to create even complex objects. We will also talk about the actual press and we will see complex objects printed in 3D and we will also see the works done by the guys of the past editions. The only thing left to do now is to bring an idea to realize! -
The python in the computer! Introduction to programming with Python - Alfio Lazzaro and Andrea Cherubini
