Incredible Wax 3D Printing Method -- Vaxandi

[Brian_Krassenstein]

22-year-old Birta Rós Brynjólfsdóttir, studying design at the Iceland Academy of the Arts, has developed a sort of "low-tech translation of 3D printing," which she calls Vaxandi. The process uses only wax and water to manually "3D print" objects, pouring both materials into a container at the same time to create an object that is cooled and solidified layer-by-layer. Once the object has been created under the water, Birta cuts the top off and pours the still-liquid hot wax in the center out of it, leaving a hollowed, lightweight piece of art. She explained her process and its development to 3DPrint.com; read about it here: http://3dprint.com/83650/vaxandi-3d-printing-wax/

I'm interested in the wax material, but I'm not sure if it works well on printer such as Ultimaker.
