Genie out of the bottle.
A new guide into 3D printing rights and responsibilities has been launched to explain what consumers need to know before printing in 3D, including the potential risks in creating and sharing 3D printable files, and what kinds of safeguards are in place.
The website “Everything you need to get started in 3D printing” was developed by staff at the University of Melbourne in response to the growing number of users keen to find, share, and create 3D printed goods online.
A team from the School of Culture and Communications at the University of Melbourne designed the website which includes a scorecard for various 3D printing sites, as well as some useful tips for those getting started in the 3D printing world.
