Being the other partner in Idova's scheme - and having been in the milling/routering industry for over 10 years with cutting-edge technology I have constantly been researching the means necessary to turn poser or bryce materials into real life models using various methods. The technology exists and is commercially available, if you have the funds and the time to invest in learning it and becoming expert enough. Primarily, to produce figures ranging in size from 25mm - 250mm (1" - 10") you need a rapid prototyper setup - for larger figures, you need a 4 or 5-axis router with the correct cutters and software drivers. One company in SoCal produces 5 axis routers that cut construction foam into 1:1 scale aircraft wing components for Boeing - so a device like that can produce full-size figures - as long as you know what you're doing. Have fun with brainstorming - it can produce incredible results.
