PRESS RELEASE<br>
A Guide to the Third Dimension<br>
<br>
ICTP SCIENTISTS PUBLISH FREE DOWNLOADABLE BOOK ON LOW-COST 3D PRINTING<br>
<br>
(Trieste, Italy, 29 April 2013) -The Abdus Salam International Centre for<br>
Theoretical Physics (ICTP) announces the release of a free, downloadable<br>
book on a new technology that has the potential to revolutionize science,<br>
education and sustainable development: three-dimensional (3D) printing.<br>
<br>
The book, titled "Low-cost 3D Printing for Science, Education and Sustainable<br>
Development", offers a practical guide to this rapidly evolving technology,<br>
giving an overview of current research on the topic and its uses in science<br>
education. It was compiled and edited by ICTP's Science Dissemination Unit<br>
(SDU) and can be downloaded free of cost from the website<br>
<br>

<br>
The affordable and easy-to-use technology is good news for developing<br>
countries, where 3D printing could open up exciting opportunities for<br>
research, education and humanitarian projects. As an institute dedicated<br>
to promoting sustainable science in the developing world, ICTP is prepared<br>
to advance the adoption of this technology in these regions. The book's<br>
editors -Enrique Canessa, Carlo Fonda and Marco Zennaro- want readers to<br>
understand and explore the huge potential that 3D technology provides.<br>
<br>
The book is divided into four main sections:<br>
<br>
* a detailed view on the technology with information on how to create a 3D<br>
printed object, the related open source hardware and software, the kits<br>
available in the market today, and a glimpse at future projects;<br>
* applications of 3D printing in scientific fields ranging from mathematics,<br>
physics to archaeology, space science, and medicine;<br>
* innovative ways for the technology to be used in education;<br>
* a glimpse of the immense potential the low-cost 3D technology can have on<br>
sustainable development including plastic recycling.<br>
<br>
ICTP opened its own 3D printing facility on 27 February 2013, when it<br>
inaugurated its 3D Printing Lab. The Lab will take center stage at an<br>
international workshop organized by the book's editors -with the<br>
participation of book's authors and attendees from developing countries,<br>
to take place in Trieste from 6 to 8 May 2013 and aimed to create awareness<br>
about 3D printing and its applications to science, education and development.<br>
