8th March 2014 FREE eBook: '3D Printing: Rise of the 3rd Industrial Revolution' Black Dog Consulting have just announced the publication of 3D Printing: Rise of the 3rd Industrial Revolution. This eBook, co-authored by Aaron Council and Michael Petch, is available as a free download for a limited time.
Aaron Council is founder and CEO of the popular Gyges3D.com online community. He has published a series of books that explore 3D printing across social, political and economic landscapes and seeks to promote discussion about the importance of this evolving technology. Michael Petch is the founder of Black Dog Consulting, which provides strategic advice, media solutions and start-up services for a range of companies operating in the new technology sphere, including crypto-currency, 3D printing and innovative mobile app developers. 3D Printing: Rise of the 3rd Industrial Revolution explores what is arguably the single most important technology to arrive in recent years. Going beyond the headline-grabbing stories of 3D printed guns, this new book graphically illustrates how 3D printing will change the world. The authors thoroughly examine the history, the current market and the future. Themes explored include how 3D printing is used in next-generation games consoles, such as the Xbox One, and how a robot can be created by combining these technologies. A discussion on the impact of 3D printing on medicine and healthcare is covered in depth – including how 3D printing will allow drugs to be downloaded from the Internet and printed using common household materials.
The philosophy behind 3D printing is examined in clear English and the authors point out how 3D printing is likely to change the current economic system for the better. The importance of the technology for the future of society and how it will create jobs in both the U.S. and the developing world is given a detailed chapter. The political and social implications – such as a reduction in materialism and even an end to conflict – are also explored. "Reality is stranger than science fiction," the authors say. "3D printing will create future spaceships and create robots to manufacture off-world colonies in orbit and on new planets." 3D Printing: Rise of the 3rd Industrial Revolution contains thought-provoking material for both experienced 3D printing enthusiasts and those new to the subject alike. Download a free copy from Amazon (for a limited time only).
