Lithophanes
Lithophanes are unique and captivating pieces of art that showcase images in a truly mesmerising way. These 3D printed masterpieces use varying thicknesses of material to reveal an image when backlit, creating an almost magical effect. The thinner areas allow more light to pass through, while thicker areas block more light, resulting in an image with depth and dimension. Just like traditional porcelain versions, these are meant to be viewed with light passing through from behind.
At Purr3d, we're delighted to help you create a personalised lithophane featuring your beloved pet. Simply choose your favourite image, and we'll handle the rest, transforming it into a display piece that captures the essence of your beloved companion.

Preserve Your Special Memories
For cat lovers, investing in a custom lithophane is an excellent way to celebrate your feline friend in a one-of-a-kind piece of decor. Imagine a cherished photo of your cat transformed into a stunning, illuminated work of art that adds warmth and charm to any room. 3D printed lithophanes are not only visually striking but also offer a personal touch, making them perfect gifts or keepsakes for any cat (or dog!) lover.
Lighting Matters
Bringing Your Lithophane to Life
Your home's lighting likely leans toward a warm or cool colour temperature, and that can influence how your lithophane appears. Without backlighting, you'll see just the surface—a white or off-white piece of plastic. But once it's illuminated, that's when the magic happens. Both white options can be paired with either warm or cool backlights, allowing you to match your existing lighting theme or experiment with contrast for a unique effect.

We offer two distinct white finishes for our 3D printed lithophanes, each designed to complement different lighting moods. Crisp White pairs beautifully with cool backlighting, enhancing contrast and delivering sharp, vivid details—ideal for modern, high-definition displays.

Off White works best with warm light sources, creating a softer, nostalgic glow that adds warmth and depth to cherished memories. Whether you're after clean precision or a cosy, vintage ambiance, we have a white tone to suit your style.
