Lithophanes are pieces of art that you can 3D print. When you shine light from behind, it reveals the details in the image. The process starts by importing the image to a lithophane maker, which transforms the image into a 3D model that you can slice and send to a 3D printer. If you...
who later went on to cofound the company 3D Systems. This printing process gave birth to the whole concept of 3D printing, as it enabled the production of a 3D object from a digital design. This allowed the creation of a 3d model from a picture or blueprint, before ...
works the same as the infill density of the model itself. As density increases, the support structure grid will gradually become tighter while the interface between the model and support improves. Reducing the density can shorten printing time but it is suggested to keep density at least at 80...
When printing with an MSLA 3D printer (SL1S SPEED), place the model with the image facing away from the print platform and print it without supports or a pad. When printing with an FFF 3D printer (MK4S, XL, Core One …), print the model facing with the image down to the print sur...
Not too long ago, the idea of 3D printing — creating three-dimensional objects using machines that add layers of material on top of one another — seemed novel. If you say you're going to print something from your computer, most people still think of two-dimensional printing, putting toner...
exporting aVRMLfrom SOLIDWORKS brings those body and face colors into GrabCAD Print for printing on a Stratasys J750/Connex3. Any textures or decals are still lost like in the picture above, but sometimes face color is enough to capture simple intent, like when using colored sunken text or ...
This part of the process loosely resembles how a camera takes a picture. If you've read How Photographic Film Works, you know that when film is exposed to light, the energy of the photons causes chemical changes in the silver halide grains coating the film. This creates a negative image ...

Convert your image, picture, and photo to 3D! Learn to create a 3D model or 3D print from a single photo.
If you say you're going to print something from your computer, most people still think of two-dimensional printing, putting toner or ink on a piece of paper. Now, although many people know what 3D printing is, they're likely wondering: How does a 3D printer work? 3D printing uses a ...
