Also, lasercutting is not just cutting - it can also provide relief and 
engraving, so you could laser engrave the pages.

Shapeways is a very cool service with lots of material options, as Morten
mentioned.
They do specify the min and max dimensions, thicknesses etc on the site.
Some of the materials are also designed for high levels of detail

Perhaps I m missing what you need, but there are available 3D printers that can 
handle that level of detail. That said - if you need very flat and thin 
letters, it sounds more like you need to use CNC foil cutting, or lasercutting.

Just explain there will be no space between letters. Explain printers (at
most) will make an entire toothpaste letters together.

I think I'm missing the point of why this would be 3d printed if it's going
to be super thin, (?o?)but I've printed things that are incredibly fragile
but structurally feasible at like 50 microns. In two axis. Like a wire made
out of plastic that you could lay 20 copies of adjacent in 1mm.

That's like the most extreme I've experimented printing.

Is this even remotely possible ?

2016-10-13 Thread Sebastien Sterling 
Hey guys, I have some people on to me for a job, they need some 3d
printing. They want to make a transparent book with 3d printed letters
stuck on sheets of transparent plastic, the whole thing being half an A4
sheet, I told them, to the best of my knoledge this is impossible, no
commercially available printer can print something as intricate as half A4
text.

Still anyone else have any idea how this might be done ?
