One of my favorite sculptors already employs these technologies in her
work. She is probably really more of a mathematician and engineer
with artistic sensibilities than an "artist". Her works are small
mathematical jewels printed out in 3D in sintered metal, allowing we
non-mathematicians to experience the heretofore invisible beauty of
mathematical formulae in a language we can all understand. She also
uses lasers to create 3D images inside solid crystal. Her works are
simply stunning, though I am sure there are many who will unjustly
dismiss her work as merely a trick. Her website is also quite
fascinating: http://www.bathsheba.com/

Enjoy!
