[Alt-photo] Re: ALT- Lithophane, Wax Molding of Gelatin Relief and Contact Print with Wax Relief

[Mustafa Umut Sarac]

Hello all,

I read cnc cut plastic lithophane tutorial.

http://www.vectric.com/WebSite/Vectric/pvc/docs/Machining_Lithophanes.pdf

White plastic requires 2.5 mm relief depth. Is it possible to make 5 mm
thick relief with gelatin ?
