• Interdisciplinary team: The authors are a combination of experience and youthful passion.

This book is not only a collection of theoretical considerations, but above all a practical guide that will guide you step by step through the process of building and using a 3D printer. Using the Prusa i3 model as an example, you will learn about all the necessary elements and operating principles. In addition, you will find here assembly instructions for an unusual 3D printer project built from recycled, old CD ROM drives. This is a great way to recycle and create something new!

It is worth emphasizing that the book is the result of cooperation between a university and selected secondary schools. This is proof of how important it is to support young talents and give them opportunities to develop in the field of modern technologies. The topic of 3D printing is one of the pillars of Industry 4.0, and more and more companies are looking for people who can print 3D models. With this book, you will acquire practical skills that can open up new career prospects for you.

The authors of the book are an intergenerational and interdisciplinary team, which guarantees a broad view of the topic of 3D printing. Here you will find the knowledge and experience of a talented student, his teacher and an employee of the Silesian University of Technology. An important link between industry and education is the socio-economic environment, which is represented by the vice president of the management board of Grupa Azoty S.A. This is a combination of forces and competences that resulted in the creation of this unique guide.
