AZ 3D Prints — Lithophane Photo Lamps
AZ 3D Prints is a personalised 3D printing studio in London, UK, founded by Zahabiya Ali in 2022. A lithophane is a 3D printed PLA panel that appears white and opaque in normal light — but when lit from behind, it reveals a full photographic image in stunning tonal detail. We print yours as a curved arc shape with a warm-white LED base, so it stands as a glowing lamp.
Send us your photo. We do the rest.
How Lithophane Lamp Orders Work
- Send your photo — any clear image works. Portrait, family shot, building, landscape, pet.
- We convert it — your image is processed into a 3D model with depth mapped to the photo's tones.
- We share a preview — you'll see a digital render before we print, so you can approve or adjust.
- We print and post — the arc panel is printed, assembled with an LED base, and posted to you.
Best Photos for Lithophanes
- Portraits with good lighting and clear facial detail
- Family photos with distinct subjects
- Buildings, mosques, or landmarks with strong silhouettes
- High-contrast landscapes
- Pets with clear features
Avoid: very dark photos, busy backgrounds, low resolution images. We'll let you know if your photo needs adjustment before proceeding.
