Put your photos in volume with 3D lithophane

The original image

An old process that is making a comeback with 3D printing

A lithophane is originally an engraved or moulded work of art made of very thin, translucent porcelain that is backlit by a light source. It is usually a representation or scene that appears in grisaille (grayscale).

This process is now greatly facilitated by 3D printing, which makes it possible to create unique 3D lithophanies in various dimensions quickly and cheaply.

Create volume from your images

By providing us with a simple image, we can turn it into a volume to create a three-dimensional image.

By varying the thickness of the piece, thinner areas become lighter while thicker areas become darker, resulting in an image with volumes that when backlit is a 3D lithophane.
