lol... It's funny when people are marveled by stuff that you yourself shrug your shoulders at because you yourself don't know any better than that it's nothing special... It's a simple form of rapid prototyping. Nowadays there are rapid prototyping 3D printers that actually "carve" one or another form of material, but when rapid prototyping was "first" invented, they used a method like this: "virtually" cutting up the subject in layers (like a ct scan: there's software that can do that by telling how many slices you want (OP chose A LOT lol) then click a button) then cutting the outline of that on one or some other material and stacking it (you can either print it then cut it yourself, but there are "printers" that can cut (obviously, but I figure some of you might not know stuff like that is possible lol; craftrobo that /po/ sometimes get excited about for a few posts for instance). It's nothing special really, the way OP's picture has taken it a little to the extreme is a lot of work though and the result can look nice and artsy. ;) The technique is childishly simple though. Literally: there are child's games (3D puzzles) based on this technique, even kids understand how to (de)compile a 3D shape into a bunch of 2D slices lol...
