November 4th webinar on 3D printing

We are teaching a one-hour intensive online introduction to 3D printing. If you don't have time for our one month long class in 2016 (or you can't wait that long!) it will be Nov. 4 at 11 AM Pacific.  

Register at this link. 

Registration for the one-month-long 3D printing class  is here. 

Pasadena Connect Week Oct. 24 talk on Citizen Science and Making

 What does the emergence of “maker” technologies like 3D printing, Arduino, and wearable tech mean for people in Pasadena and beyond?  

Joan Horvath and Rich Cameron will give a quick overview of these technologies and how they enable just about anyone to make projects that can contribute to real science projects, address social needs, or allow artistic expression. They have been early adopters themselves and have interviewed many more for their books and will give a view from the front line.

Saturday, October 24, 12-2 PM at Cross Campus Pasadena, 87 N. Raymond.

• 12-12:30 Meet & Greet
  
• 12:30 -1:00 Presentation
  
• 1:00-2:00  Open dialogue and discussion

Event is free but pre-registration is required: Click here to register

New Book - 3D Printing With MatterControl - expected out this week

Our new book, "3D Printing with MatterControl" is expected out this week, just in time for New York Makerfaire. It will be available shortly after that in the MatterHackers store, on Apress' site and on the usual major online booksellers.

When Rich Cameron and I teamed up on the earlier book  Mastering 3D Printing a year ago there were very few screen shots and a lot of general direction on how to think about 3D printing and where to get the latest info. Now that MatterControl has emerged as an open source standard, it was cool to write the first book focused on it. We can now provide detailed instruction for both beginner and advanced features. We appreciate all our friends at MatterHackers who provided great advice and support (not to mention the software.) It is amazing to see how much 3D printing has evolved in one short year.

We are tentatively scheduled to be at the MatterHackers booth at Makerfaire New York Saturday/Sunday the 26/27 at 1 PM each day, and at the Apress both at 2 PM both days. We will post updates if that changes.
