I just wrote a little processing sketch that takes a height field like this

calculates a pdf containing something like this

which can be cut out and sticked together to a 3d model like this

I just printed the first stl file that i generated using a processing sketch.
I used the unlekkerlib to export a stl file from a sketch that generates
simple 3d spiral, used blender to add a socket and printed it on my makerbot. Skeinforge complained about some invalid
triangles, but beside that it worked surprisingly well.
This is what it looks like in blender

and this is what the makerbot made of it

and this is the processing-sketch i used to generated the spiral
import unlekker.data.*;
void setup() {
size(300,300,P3D);
noLoop();
}
void draw() {
translate(width/2,height/2);
background(0);
fill(255);
lights();
noStroke();
//stroke(255);
beginRaw("unlekker.data.STL","guru.stl");
beginShape(QUAD_STRIP);
for( int i =0; i < 100; i++ ) {
for(int a=0; a < 36; a++) {
float r = 10 - map(i,0,100,0,10);
vertex( r * sin( radians( a * 10 )) + sin(radians(i*10)) * 10,
-i*1,
r * cos(radians(a*10)) + cos(radians(i*10)) * 10);
int j = i+1;
vertex( r * sin( radians( a * 10 )) + sin(radians(j*10)) * 10,
-j*1,
r * cos(radians(a*10)) + cos(radians(j*10)) * 10);
}
}
endShape();
endRaw();
}

I designed a simple stand for my phone unsing openscad.

Today i managed to make a scan using my conmark L2000 3D-Scanner that looks at least similar to the object i
tried to scan :-)
it's not quite what i hoped it to be yet, but at least it's a start.
original:

i used the makeTexture method from my firefly sketch
to make a 3d particle demo

I made my first 3d processing sketch that generates a
stereo image for cross eyed viewing
click here to see the
cubes rotate
