I have to admit that I've a little about 3D printing in the last year or two, but my knowledge is pretty limited... so when a friend recommended "3D Printing: Rise of the Third Industrial Revolution" I was intrigued and wanted to delve into the world of 3D printing. Aaron Council does a fantastic job of presenting a well-researched and thoughtful exploration of the past, present and future of 3D printing in a wonderful way. The book is a captivating blend of a thorough guide to the technology and a geek's paradise as the author dives into what is and what could be possible with just the push of a button.What I like about this book is that it is clearly aimed at not only exploring the concepts of 3D printing, but explores the reality of how it can change the future and just how we might get there. It's smart, insightful, fast-paced and compellingly written. Aaron Council has a effervescent writing style that helps you imagine the possibilities and the pathways of this "Third Industrial Revolution".Overall, I found myself unable to put this down once I started and it allowed me to become immersed in the possibilities and realities of 3D printing in an enjoyable way. It was well worth the read and I would certainly recommend it to other readers looking for a well-written and thoughtful exploration of 3D printing.
