Learn how to convert a photo to a 3-D printed lithophane decoration! This could be a fun holiday tree ornament, decoration for the fireplace mantel, or any number of other places for the home. You could make it for a family member, friend, or yourself! Lithophanes are a 3-D print of a photo which uses the thickness of the print to show various shades of grey when illuminated from behind. You will feel a 3-D effect when you rub the surface. Once you know how to make your own, you can make an appointment on our 3-D printer to make your creations!
