AZ 3D Prints — Lithophane Photo Lamps

Flat lithophane PLA panel revealing a photographic image when lit — by AZ 3D Prints Lithophane arc lamp being 3D printed on an Ender printer by AZ 3D Prints

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.

  • Milestone birthdays — 18th, 30th, 50th — a uniquely personal gift

  • New baby — the first scan or newborn photo as a lamp
