About this Project

I've always been fascinated by lithophanes and how they can create a 2D image using light. 3D printing allows lithophanes to be completely customized, and you can get really creative with the different shapes and frames! Any photo can be turned into a lithophane, although high-contrast photos have the best results. Both of the lithophanes above were purchased as gifts, and I worked with the customers to design the frames. The lithophane fits into a lightbox, and you can see how it all comes together in the video above. In addition to using a lightbox, many lithophanes look great in front of windows that let in a lot of sunlight.
