If you are not familiar with 3D fractals, a phenomenon that just emerged around 2009, first take a look at these examples:

- And here is a [1] of static images I collected that reflect 3D fractals in forms that could potentially be printed.
A Start-up idea I've been thinking about:
- Create an online interface that allows people to alter and customize fractal geometry within printable parameters.
- Remove friction for people who don't know CAD/3D or 3D fractal software.
- Just a few simple sliders that actually modify fractal geometry, not simply bend and stretch like normal 3D design modulations.
- Would have to design new software that merges CAD with 3D fractal generation
- Mandelbulber
- Incendia
- Mandelbulb 3D
- See this start-up, which got $1.4 million in seed funding to make customizable dolls, for example of such a simplified interface: http://makie.me/
- Remove friction for people who don't know CAD/3D or 3D fractal software.
Now, after viewing the [2] linked above, imagine all of the below products available with full customization through easy online interface.
Such as modifiable, personalizable
- chess pieces (on a fractal-ish chessboard?)
or
- Jewelry (can print in precious metals or affordable biopolymers)
- jewelry boxes/small chests
- 3d fractal jigsaw puzzle
- computer/ipod/device casings http://www.ebay.com/soc/itm/120974056989?roken=XcZIIA
- key chains
- lighter holders
- lampshades (transparent materials) home and commercial (restaurants, hotels, office)
- chandeliers
- Instruments
- 3D fractal didgereedoos, flutes
- candle sticks and holders
- decorative bowls
- vases
- plant pots (match planter containers to the fractal geometry of the particular plants they will hold)
- terrariums with transparent materials
- art sculptures
- LED-lit transparent fractal contours would make awesome pins, hats, trip toys, sculptures, etc.
- 3D fractal prisms
- wind ornaments, pinwheels (like those spiral and helix shapes)
- multicolor UV fluorescent (can make with ZPrinter)
- modular parts for large scale geometries (repeating fractals like webs)
- large event speakers and small home or portable speaker additions
- cars
- hubcaps
- spoilers
- art-car projects
- bicycle extensions
- decorative bookshelf additions
- Furniture
- chairs (pod-like, rock-like, etc)
- coffee tables
- bed frames
- monitor/flatscreen tv frames $$
- picture/mirror frames $$
- house extensions (modular parts)
- entrance frames, window trim, eventually larger ornate entrance-ways
- LED-lit transparent fractal contours would make awesome pins, hats, trip toys, sculptures, etc.
