    I'm stil wondering if it's real. It looks real. Do they have a follow up with more technical information? If you reduce the speed, print in a spiral, and tolerate a lot of noise, it seams possible. (Specialy if you use two spirals, one with the music and another that changes the width so the other spiral has the correct shape.) (Can it be 3D printed over a rotating platform? Is is easier? Is it cheating?)

      A quick google suggests 3D printing records is possible depending on your expectations. My intuition is that an analog cutting process (e.g. wax cylinder would get equal or batter results more quickly and at lost cost). But I could be wrong. https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/62pex5/could_you_3d_print_a_playable_vinyl_record/?rdt=37963 https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/62pex5/could_yo...
