Paper 3D printer
Here are some results of probably the only 3D printer than should be called a 3D printer. Pages are printed with ink, each page is added to the one below it and glued to it, and the page is then cut where the solid and air of the final model meet. Pretty cool! Though I can imagine headaches removing material from concavities, and the models produced are more for looking at than using in some way. Note the block of "post-its" looking paper at the upper left is a model where the cut paper hasn't been removed from the model yet.
