Hi,

I am wanting to learn how to 3D scan and print items.

As a complete newbie to the 3d printing world, I was hoping some of you who didn't learn this within structured education/ work would be able to assist.

I am happy to do loads of reading, but at the moment I am finding that I am boggled by all the options and often the terms used for scanners/ printers/ software etc.

Is there a particular forum that someone found really helpful as a 1st read when they began on their 3D printing journey? Something that starts by explaining all of the basics and terms used before moving on to the finer details?

Maybe there was a book that you read? Or perhaps an open university course or online course you had taken to get to grips with the basics?

Any help is appreciated.
