Advanced 3D Printing with Grasshopper®: Clay and FDM

Book does what it needs to do. But you definitely need plenty of prior knowledge of softwares to understand book. Not beginner friendly but you can find plenty of YouTube and other books for learning basics.

Pleasant to read, good tone and well communicated, plenty of illustrations and good formatting! Text is large and renderings larger, grasshopper definitions are clear, logical and well organized. Now to build myself a clay 3D printer....

This a great book to start with if you're interested in Clay 3D-printing. Congrats to the authors.

While the content is good. The book itself is not well designed and the printing is not good quality. On top of that, mine was delivered with some damage. It is not a beginner’s book you need some previous knowledge on rhino 3d / grasshopper and 3D printing for this to become of any value. I do recommend the book for its content, this is an industry that’s relatively young and still being pioneered.

The book did not meet my expectations. Its more focus on teaching really basic concepts about 3d printing and grasshopper. And I already knew all that. Also focuses on clay printing and delta machines for 3d printing. When I got to the point the the reading was really interesting to me and things were new to me the book finished.

I do not know if would have survived my master program if not for the help of this book. This book is produced in a great, easy to understand format. It is exactly what I was looking to learn, gcode through grasshopper. I recommended to all of my collegues and classmates who ended up buying their own copy

Ho comprato questo libro per superare i limiti degli slicer come cura e simplify3d. Sicuramente sarebbe meglio avere delle basi di stampa 3D, modellazione e grasshopper, ma le spiegazioni sono sufficientemente dettagliate e le illustrazioni sono così abbondanti e precise che essere accessibile anche senza tante conoscenze di basi. Il problema comunque non si pone gran che, visto che se si ha accesso a Rhino o si sta studiando, e il testo in questo senso è ottimo, o probabilmente si sa quello che si sta facendo. In poco tempo mi ha dato gli strumenti di base che mi hanno permesso di realizzare in autonomia gcode per stampare modelli complessi e anche molto diversi da quelli proposti, sia in argilla con una wasp che con la mia vecchia ender 3 in PLA che uso per i test in scala.

The book goes into detail on how to construct all the basic components you would need to create a custom g-code. This is a good basis to begin and from which to make even more complex g-code. Definitely would recommend.

Main Title is a bit too wide-sweeping, subtitle is more like it. Perfect manual for printing in clay or any other wide-nozzle filament-based printing, not so useful for other 3D printing approaches.

Asistí a un curso de Diego sobre Grasshopper y la verdad es que cuando vi este libro supe que tenía que conseguirlo. Está escrito de una forma directa y cercana, es como si alguien estuviera haciendo un tutorial a tu lado. Muy recomendable si quieres aplicar Grasshopper a la impresión 3D.
