What is lithophane

What is lithophane? 

A lithophane is a special type of three-dimensional image, made with a 3D printer. When you look at a lithophane without light, you only see a white surface with relief. But as soon as you let light shine through from the back, the image comes to life and you see the details of the photo. This unique effect works because the variations in the thickness of the material let the light pass through in different ways, making shadows and details visible. 

 

Black and White and Color Lithophane 

At iMsignMo we offer both black and white and color lithophanes . Our 3D printer can work with four colors: cyan, magenta, yellow and white . These colors are used to create accurate and vivid images that are most effective when light hits the back. 

 

How does it work? 

Lithophanes are initially white with a relief structure. The magical effect occurs when light shines through the back. The image becomes fully visible and gains depth and detail, especially in a dark environment. 

You can use different light sources to activate the effect: 

  • Lithophane Keychains : These come to life with your smartphone's flashlight , but you can also see the image clearly when you hold the keychain in sunlight or use another light source . 
  • Lithophane Photo Frames : These have a built-in LED light plate , which you can easily light with a power adapter or even a power bank for added flexibility.
