I never imagined a picture book with 3D images - such an innovative idea. Do state libraries offer the books? They should. And like Jon, I wondered about 3D printing.Paeony Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13129555451791248798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758609568631190155.post-82426017518994102302013-11-28T08:20:04.989+00:002013-11-28T08:20:04.989+00:00They have one mould-making machine that they custo...They have one mould-making machine that they custom-built to get just the right amount of detailing. They use an especially hard-wearing plastic mix for the picture books, because of little fingers. I'm not sure they could afford a 3d printer!
