What is 2D and 3D laser photo crystal engraving?
2D (dimension) objects are those on a flat surface such as a photo or a painting. In another word, they do not have any depth. 3D objects are something more ‘real’ such as a sculpture or a statue that you can view from the front, side, and back. In 2D laser crystal engraving, a certain depth is added to the original 2D photo, which is then engraved into a crystal with multiple layers. Even though the final image in the crystal is still 2D, the added depth makes the image look more vivid. Therefore, it is sometime called 2.5D laser crystal engraving. All our 2D laser crystal engravings are done using as many as eight layers to enhance the final image contrast. In 3D laser crystal engraving, things are a little more complicated. There are two ways to do it: (1) using software to convert images from 2D to 3D by our artists, and (2) using a special 3D camera to capture real 3D images from several angles.
