Glowprint: 3D Lithophane Maker

Turn your photos into glowing 3D prints. A lithophane looks like a plain white carving until light shines through it. Then the thin parts glow, the thick parts stay dark, and your photo appears. Glowprint turns any photo into a lithophane for your 3D printer: a panel, a lamp, an ornament or a night light. Choose a photo, pick a shape and watch it glow on screen before you print a single layer. When it looks right, export an STL, 3MF or OBJ file and send it to your slicer. 89 READY-MADE DESIGNS Start from one of 17 categories, then change anything: • Panels shaped as hearts, arches, ovals, stars, clouds and more, with stands to display them • Lamps, lampshades, tealight lanterns and plug-in night lights • Christmas ornaments, baubles and bells • Photo globes, and box lamps with a different photo on each side • Pets, babies, weddings, birthdays, holidays and memorials • Vases, boxes, pen holders, coasters, bookmarks and fridge magnets • Eight worlds, from the Moon and Mars to Jupiter and the Sun, built from planetary maps.

Your photos and projects stay on your device unless you choose to share them. SIMPLE PRICING Designing, previewing and saving are always free, and your first export is included. After that, a project uses one credit the first time you export it. Exporting it again, in any format and after any change, is free. Credits come in packs of 1, 3 or 10 and never expire. If you print a lot, a one-time full unlock makes every export free on your iPhone, iPad and Mac. There is no subscription. A failed export costs nothing, and credits are kept in iCloud, so they follow you across your devices. Also available for Mac.
