Portraits painted by CNC machine
Someone draws portraits with gouache, someone uses watercolor (and someone does not watercolor ), those who do not know how to draw or like photos, simply print digital photos on a photo printer.
But in terms of originality and exclusivity, all this is the last century. No one can be surprised not only by a canvas with large strokes of oil paint, but even by an A3 format sheet printed on a printer. How it is - print a portrait on a machine with numerical control!

It is this method of “printing” that was invented by a Finnish modder who calls himself Metalfusion. He developed a home-made software that converts digital images .jpg, .png or .gif into dot patterns in the DXF format, which is “understood” by a numerically controlled drilling machine. The DXF file is “fed” to the machine, and it drills holes-pixels on a black-painted board, creating a photo from half tones, very similar to pictures from newspapers and magazines.
