3D Printing Your Photos – Lithophanes

Lithophanes were first created in the 1820s using porcelain. By varying the depth of the material, you can create a seemingly 3 dimensional black & white image that can only be seen when backlit.

Simon Sörensen shows how you can easily create Lithophanes using your existing 3D printer, some white filament, and a free web site.

What a unique way to display your student’s photographs or drawings.
