Title: I new way to print Mandelbulbs? Post by: Lee Oliver on March 04, 2011, 02:27:00 AM I was turned upon a new method of laser printing 3D sculptures. This method cuts extremely thin pieces of cardboard with a laser and can accomplish wonderful detail. Here's a link to a short article. :beer:

Maybe in one or two years this is a possible and payable way to produce 3d fract art. greetz Title: Re: I new way to print Mandelbulbs? Post by: KRAFTWERK on March 04, 2011, 11:50:02 AM WOW, me want! O0
Title: Re: I new way to print Mandelbulbs? Post by: Lee Oliver on March 04, 2011, 11:57:02 AM I wonder how sturdy they are. Do you suppose one could handle them without fear of wasting $1500?
