Congratulations to Roice and Henry on thins very nice paper.

I would like to comment on the voxel format support.
Yes, we develop and support SVX voxel format in attempt to make more
convenient and compact
file format for 3D printing of very complex models. The notoriously
detailed hyperbolic models are the ideal candidate for using SVX.
However in the back end we are still converting SVX into triangles using
abfab3d.
It is because not all components of the 3D printing workflow can work
directly with voxels yet.
So, your voxel model needs to be reasonable good for conversion into
triangle mesh.
