-While printing out 3D graphs would be perfectly possibleit seems more interesting to take 2D data and use the third dimension in a more creative way. In one design we rotated 2D CSV values of yearly birth numbers ([[http://od.ifi.uzh.ch/package/geburten-jahr-quartier]]) around an axis to create objects looking like chess figures. Imagine playing "birth statistics chess" or "car accident chess" with individual figures derived from the statistics of different cantons.+Here's another object made from the same data, the "Commuter Statistics Egg Cuptogether with an EggBot painted egg.
