(Mathematica) I have a quick question for anybody familiar with Wolfram Mathematica - I'm trying to do an art project and it revolves around taking a data set, stitching together a curve using cubic spline interpolation, and making that 2D plot 3D or otherwise have depth so I could export it as a .stl file to 3D print - assuming all the data part is taken care of, how would I take a 2D graph in mathematica, add a third spatial dimension, and just give it some arbitrary depth like "1" to make it 3D and able to export?

tl;dr how do I make a 2D graph arbitrarily 3D in mathematica, I'm super unfamiliar with the software.

gimme an example , like some function thats in 2D u want to make into 3D and how do u want to make it in to 3D

mendicant_bias · Answer

Like taking a 2D function and making it a flat image in a 3D space. I don't have an example of a function yet because I haven't chosen what data I want to make a cubic spline interpolation out of, but I understand how to.

@dan815  (It's also hard to do this/show a good example because right now I'm on a computer without Mathematica - I have it through a school license and am downloading it now, but it's a big file and will take a while).
