The Process
A lithophane is a 3D-printed image that reveals its full detail when backlit. The printing process begins by converting a regular image into a 3D model where brightness values are translated into varying thicknesses: lighter areas are thinner (letting more light through), and darker areas are thicker. The model is then sliced using 3D printing software with fine layer heights—usually around 0.1 mm—to preserve detail. PLA filament is commonly used due to its ease of printing and translucency. The print is typically oriented vertically for better resolution and accuracy, with slow print speeds and high infill (close to 100%) to maintain structural integrity and light diffusion. Good bed adhesion and precise calibration are essential to ensure a smooth, detailed final product.
Timelapse
The timelapse captures the mesmerizing process of a round lithophane slowly emerging layer by layer from the printer bed. As the print progresses, subtle details start forming in a smooth, circular motion. By the end of the timelapse, the image becomes more defined, revealing a detailed and ghostly photo embedded within the cylindrical shape—ready to be illuminated from within.
Lightboxes
3D printed lightboxes are custom enclosures designed to illuminate objects or images—often used to backlight lithophanes, signs, or artistic displays. These lightboxes are typically printed using materials like PLA or PETG and consist of several components: a frame or housing, a light-diffusing panel (often 3D printed or made from acrylic), and an internal LED light source. The design can be tailored for different shapes and sizes, including flat, rectangular, or cylindrical forms.
What People Are Saying
“I ordered a light box of my son’s favorite character, and he absolutely loves it! He has to have it on every night at bedtime—it’s become part of his nightly routine. The quality is exceptional, and the detail is amazing. I’ll definitely be purchasing more from GlowPrint Keepsakes in the future. Highly recommend!”

What people are saying
“I ordered a round lithophane as a memorial piece for my grandfather, and it turned out more beautiful than I could have imagined. I was able to upload 4 of my favorite photos of us, and seeing them come to life when the light shines through is breathtaking. It’s a comforting and meaningful way to remember him, and it brings back so many special memories every time I look at it. This piece truly honors his legacy and I amazed by the quality. Will be buying again!“
