Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know

What is a lithophane and how does it work?

A lithophane is a 3D printed artwork created from a photo or image where varying thicknesses of material produce light and shadow effects when backlit, revealing detailed pictures. Our service converts your photo into a lithophane design optimized for 3D printing to ensure the best contrast and detail.

How do I choose the right dimensions and thickness for my lithophane?

Dimensions depend on where you want to display the lithophane and your 3D printer's build volume. Thickness affects the light transmission and detail; typically between 2mm to 5mm is ideal. Our tool guides you through selecting optimal size and depth for your project.

Which 3D printers are compatible with the lithophane designs?

Our lithophane STL files are compatible with most FDM and resin 3D printers. We provide optimized print settings to ensure your lithophane prints with excellent detail and contrast.

Can I customize my lithophane with backlighting or frames?

Yes, you can specify additional preferences such as backlighting options, frame styles, or materials. These customizations enhance the visual effect and presentation of your lithophane.
