The Best of the Web for Engineers

Jan. 10, 2013
What do you think are the best:
    Engineering Web sites?
    3D printing Web sites?
    Engineering twitter feeds?
    Engineering online forums?
    Engineering Facebook pages?
    Engineering LinkedIn groups?
    Engineering blogs?

Social media is a hot topic these days, even among engineers. Here are some of the most interesting and useful engineering-related Twitter feeds, blogs, forums, and LinkedIn groups that Machine Design editors have come across in the past year. We also note Web sites devoted to 3D printing/manufacturing that we felt are worth a look.
