It depends on the fractal. For a shape with no filled interior, such as the Sierpinski triangle, you can do it in XD with extrusion.
Starting with the Sierpinski, add a holon, set all scales to 100, click the Free Holon and Hide Parent Shape buttons, and use the Extrudez metamorph in Local, adjusting Amount for the height.
If you have a fractal shape that already fills in the spaces solidly, that should work too, though it could be slow as it will get a solid prism, not a hollow one.
If the shape is empty in the interior, you can extrude the outline but I don't know any direct way to get flat top and bottom. If you instead add one or more prisms to be iterated you may be able to fill the shape but not with constant height.
