The Science and Art Behind Every 3D Crystal




Innovation comes alive at the intersection of science and creativity. This is what happens at 3D Crystals. Here, advanced laser technology meets artistic craftsmanship to transform a normal 2D photo into a breathtaking 3D crystal. Each 3D Crystal gift is carefully designed to preserve your emotions, memories and milestones in beautiful crystal that lasts a lifetime.

Where Technology Meets Creativity

Every 3D crystal gift is a product of precision engineering and artistic vision. We combine advanced laser engraving techniques and skilled 3D designs to turn your 2D image into a lifelike crystal image that appears to be floating inside the crystal.  

The process of making a 3D crystal out of your 2D image is not entirely technical. Yes we have amazing data sets that create accurate 3d from artificial intelligence.  At the same time we have a team of core artists always improving the learning models and focused on creating enhanced designs 3D.  This ensures that the 3D crystal that we create captures all the emotions from your picture and is truly personal to you.

The Perfect Balance of Science and Sentiment

A stunning 3D Crystal is a perfect blend of technical accuracy and human understanding of various aspects of the image. The precision lasers used handle the layers of the image, while our in house software called cockpit3d create incredible 3D depth from photos.

Thousands of microscopic laser points are engraved inside the crystal with extreme accuracy and precision, forming a stunning 3D image that feels alive inside the crystal. The results look so sharp and lifelike, seeming to emerge from within the glass.

How a 3D Crystal Is Created

The process of creating a 3D crystal may look simple, but it involves careful attention and detail every step of the way.

Step 1: Share Your Photo

The first step is to send us your special photo from your phone or camera. It can be any picture of any quality and need not be an extremely high-quality picture captured by a professional photographer. Our internal image transformation process works fine with almost all image qualities.

Step 2: 3D Model Creation

Our skilled artists and powerful software transform your image into a detailed 3D model. We make sure to capture every single detail of your image to make the 3D crystal image look real with immense depth and clarity.

Step 3: Laser engraving your chosen image

With precision laser technology, we engrave millions of tiny points inside your crystal. This creates a three-dimensional image inside the crystal, making your image look as if it's floating in the crystal.

The result is a striking 3D crystal that beautifully preserves your memory forever.

Personalized Crystals for Every Occasion

Each crystal becomes unique and personal when you engrave your favourite picture into it. It is designed to reflect your cherished moments. And by engraving your picture, you are creating a one-of-a-kind keepsake to gift your loved ones for any auspicious occasion, like:

  • Family Gifts – A crystal gift to preserve a special family moment to be remembered forever.

Now it's your turn to discover the craftsmanship and innovation behind every piece of 3D Crystal and to experience the magic of turning memories into timeless art at 3DCrystal.com.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  • What type of photo is best for a 3D crystal?

    Our 3D artists and cockpit3D autoconversion software can work on almost all pictures regardless of their quality. They can enhance and fix almost all low-quality images. But the best images to make a 3D crystal would be any clear picture taken from your phone or a camera with good lighting.

  • How long does it take to create a 3D crystal?

    The time taken to laser etch a crystal depends on the size of the crystal and the complexity of the image; it may vary from a few minutes to a few hours depending on the size of the crystal block.

  • Can I customize my 3D crystal?

    Yes, each crystal is fully customizable. You may choose the picture, crystal shape, size, and also decide on the text to be added to make it fully personal.

  • Are 3D crystals suitable for corporate gifting?

    Absolutely. We have an entire palette of corporate 3D crystal gifts. We also do custom shapes and make premium corporate gifts for employee recognition, client appreciation, and brand showcases.

  • Will the image fade over time?

    No. The laser engraving is done inside the crystal, ensuring your image remains permanent and unchanged for years to come.
