Unveiling the Secrets of 3D Photo Crystal Creation

3D photo crystals, by their very nature, are magical, long-lasting, and often inspired by beautiful memories. 

They also happen to make great gifts for your friends, relatives, and other loved ones. Over the years, we’ve learned that 3D images are extremely popular as presents for anniversaries, birthdays, graduations, and other special milestones.

Because these products are so versatile, they have unlimited potential and can be used for all sorts of purposes. Beyond gift-giving, some people choose to order our crystal cubes as a way of treating themselves or even to promote products for their own businesses. 

Regardless of the moment or occasion that inspires a 3D image, we’re proud to offer the best of the best. Likewise, we will always go the extra mile in making sure that our customers are happy when they finally get their piece.

Now, it’s natural to wonder how we’re able to pull off 3D picture creation and what all goes into this process. As such, we’re more than happy to walk you through the process step-by-step, sparing no attention to detail whatsoever. 

How We Create the Perfect 3D Photo Crystal

Throughout the process of creating these products, we always prioritize the finest crystals, along with the best technology for laser engraving and 3D photo conversion. All of this has to be taken into account to create a flawless final product.

For starters, the quality of both the product material and laser technology will have a huge impact on how the image turns out once it’s converted from 2D to 3D. 

Making the image 3D means it has to go inside of the crystal, rather than just on its surface. Another added benefit of having your image within the crystal is it will never get scratched or otherwise damaged in the way a 2D photo could.

Being so mindful of this ultimately lets us stand out from our competitors and create crystals that will turn heads in any room. 

Optimizing Your Photo

When creating picture crystals, we accept all kinds of images. In many cases, the photos uploaded by our customers get pulled from different social media platforms, cell phone galleries, etc. What all of these photos have in common are variations in their lighting, contrasts, and other features. 

It’s for these reasons that the photo optimization process makes such a huge difference. We want to make sure the image isn’t too dark or blurry, for instance. Otherwise, our laser technology can struggle with a picture that’s not very clear. 

Another key part of optimizing your photo involves us making very specific edits so that it’s ready to be crystallized. These edits involve background removal and taking away any blemishes that could diminish the photo as it becomes 3D.

Once we optimize the photo you send us, our laser software will then be capable of turning it from a 2D image into a 3D glass cube that is stark, clear, and a sight to behold. 

To bring this crystal to life, we actually build the model - with your image as the blueprint - that will be set within your cube.

Putting High-Tech Software and Laser Technology to Work

Just like optimizing your photos, gearing up our software and point assortment are more vital steps we take to create a perfect 3D picture crystal. After photo optimization, it’s important to make sure our laser technology, light coordinates, and engraving machine are ready to get to work on your crystal.

Getting the points situated and good to go sets the stage for everything that comes next.  In order for our lasers to do their best work in creating a glass picture, the image has to first be appropriately positioned with the correct light points.  

This is why our laser software calibrates the laser so that its point is sharp enough and maintains enough energy to create your image via microfractures within the crystal.

In order to create an HD photo that stands out and looks exceptional, our machines emit high-resolution lasers while engraving your optimized photo into the crystal.

Bringing the final product to fruition 

Laser coordinates, like laser resolution, make a huge difference in bringing a clear, sharp picture to life. In fact, the placement of these coordinates is exactly what allows a crystal image to come out as 3D when it’s all finished. 

Once the light points are set, lasered, and finished, the final crystal is breathtaking. The 3D photo’s front angle will resemble a statute, whereas viewing the image from other angles will create the illusion of it moving at the same pace as your vision. 

We will always put time, energy, and precision into making sure your crystal photo looks amazing.

Getting Started Has Never Been Easier

If you’d like to order a 3D picture crystal for yourself or a loved one, the first step will be uploading the image you want to be engraved. This can be a photo of yourself, someone you’re close to, or even a much-loved pet. 

Thanks to our adaptable technology and talented team of workers, we can take any picture and immortalize it as a 3D crystal photo that lasts for a lifetime. 

Understanding the process of how these products are created also goes a long way towards being confident that your 3D glass picture will be in the best hands as it’s created.

At the end of the day, we will deliver a product that not only lasts, but also carries sentimental value. After all, a 3D image should be a conversation starter and a standout like no other.

Adding the Finishing Touches

Once your 3D image has finally been created, you may also want to consider one of our LED light bases. These pieces are wonderful for putting your piece on display and making sure that it truly stands out in any room. 

Our LED light bases also naturally illuminate your image, come in multiple sizes, shapes, and rotation options, and solidify your 3D photo crystal as a one-of-a-kind centerpiece.
