A simple snapshot becomes a real eye-catcher in glass – how does that actually work? Anyone who has ever held a 3D glass image knows how fascinating this special engraving technique is. But hardly anyone knows how much high-tech and craftsmanship are involved.
In this article, we'll show you how your photo becomes a 3D laser engraving in glass step by step – and why each piece is a small work of art.
✔ Step 1: You choose your favorite photo
Whether it's a portrait, a pet photo or a shared moment – you decide which image should be immortalized in glass. Important: For a 3D engraving, clear pictures with good resolution and a visible motif are particularly suitable.
✔ Step 2: Conversion into a 3D model
Now the magic begins: Using special technology, a three-dimensional model is created from your 2D photo. Our partners' systems calculate depth, shape, and contours, so that your image later appears three-dimensionally in the glass. Especially with portraits, they can recognize, for example, how a face should appear spatially – and create a detailed 3D model from this.
✔ Step 3: Precise laser engraving on glass
Once the 3D model is complete, the engraving process begins:
A highly precise laser beam shoots thousands of microscopically small points into the interior of the crystal glass – without damaging the surface. Point by point, the three-dimensional image is created directly inside the glass.
The result: a floating, almost holographic image of your subject – visible from every angle.
✔ Step 4: Final Touches and Packaging
Each glass is carefully cleaned, inspected and lovingly packaged after engraving – many products even come in high-quality gift boxes. This allows you to present your personalized gift directly – or treat yourself to a special keepsake.
✔ Who is 3D engraving suitable for?
A 3D glass picture is the perfect gift for:
-
Dad, Mom, or Grandparents
-
Your partner or your best friend
-
Pet owners
-
Weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, or as a remembrance of the deceased.
Whether emotional, stylish or personal – it's always just right .
