I worked through the 123D Design tutorials in parallel with the software's shortish (56 pages. All in all there is a enormous amount of content. The software covered also extends beyond the domain of 3d printing since 123D Make and CNC are covered. Although 3d printing and the Makerbot 3d printer are mentioned in the title, you might well benefit from reading the book even if you do not intend to do any 3d printing or if like me you use a 3d printer other than a Makerbot. With the exception of Layout all the software is available for free but with a pay-for premium option. This is all quite product-specific so you might want to check ahead of time that the software is actually what you want to learn. The tutorials are interspersed with screen shots which greatly reduces the chances of getting lost. It is relentlessly practical, written with the intention that you read the book at your computer working through the sequence of step-by-step tutorials which dominate the content. It is aimed at beginners who want to use some or all of these pieces to do 3d printing. This book provides materials to support learning of the software packages: 123D Design, 123D Catch, 123D Meshmixer, Layout, 123D Make, 123D CNC, TinkerCAD and the Makerbot 3d printer.
