====== 2021-11-30 - programmers perspective on 3D printing is out ====== {{ :blog:2021:11:30:screen_from_the_talk.jpg?600|screen from the talk}} my this year's [[https://codedive.pl|code::dive]] talk on 3D printing, seen from programmers perspective is finally out ({{:docs:3d_printing_programmers_perspective.pdf|slides}} and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNMgx_casLI|recording]]). abstract follows: >3D printing: programmer's perspective > >By now everyone knows 3D printing is a thing, although not that many programmers have actually gave it a shot. This is a bit strange, since having some background in programming seems like a perfect start into this world. During the talk following topics will be covered: >* Basic concepts of 3D printing >* Creating source code for 3D model >* Slicing model in a reproducible way >* Automation of processing pipeline >* Creating stable SDK > >By the end of the talk attendees will know basics on how 3D printing pipeline works and how to setup a toolchain for it, along with a proper automation. This should be enough for any programmer to start their adventure with 3D printing, regardless if one owns a printer or will send model out to be made by 3rd party. > >This is an introductory talk. No prior knowledge on 3D printing, Linux and/or particular tools is required. General programming skills and common sense are enough. :) have fun watching! :)
